CSV branch R1 (versions 1.3 of Bitweaver) is stable, but not updated anymore. It’s got a database schema and API lockdown. Also, there are known security problems with Bitweaver below version 2, depending on your specific packages/feature set. However, you can update using the CVS R1 branch without harming your install. Backup your files and database before. For detailed upgrade instructions, please view bitweaverUpgrade. CVS branch R2 (versions 2 of Bitweaver) is also available. While many version 2 live sites are being updated directly from CVS (mainly the ones that the developers are running), you need to do extensive testing after an upgrade. An alternative to CVS are weekly builds in http://bitweaver.org/builds. It’s an advantage to monitor changes via IRC, if you plan on running your site off CVS in the sense of frequently updating your code to the most recent. Final releases (versions) are made from the code in CVS after extensive testing and debugging (unlike weekly builds). Fo
