On Codeplex (http://umbraco.codeplex.com/releases/view/73692) scroll down to "Important when upgrading" or see the Release Notes. Should work like a breeze...
I have seen a strange one, following upgrade from 4.7.0 to 4.7.1, images in the richtext editor are being rendered with their src containing the tilda and so not working on the upgraded website, e.g ~/media/7090/barcelona.jpg. In Umbraco, they appear fine and after publishing each page they are fixed. Stangely doing a full republish of the whole site doesn't fix them, I had to go through each and every page publishing.
I followed the Upgrade from 4.7.0 to 4.7.1 from the Release Notes (accessed on 7th November 2011) at CodePlex. It stated that all I need to do was copy the bin, umbraco and umbraco_client files from the 4.7.1 zip into my site and over-write my existing files. I did this and ran the site and it said it was successfully upgraded.
When I look at my RichTextEditor(RTE) it behaves differently. I did some tests.
My RTE in my version before the upgrade is extened to 1000 by 1000.
My RTE after the Upgrade has shrunk and the Ribbon does not appear (if I switch Tabs and go back to the RTE the ribbon appears). The RTE is exhibiting other problems, if I have a table and go to the html view the table disappears.
I looked at a clean install of 4.7.1 and RTE worked perfectly.
What other files need to be copied in addition to bin, umbraco, and umbraco_client to make the upgrade work properly?
I just did some futher tests and found that the BIN, UMBRACO and UMBRACO_CLIENT directories are identical in the 4.7.1 zip and the 4.7.1 install. So why does my RichTextEditor behave differently after I upgrade it from 4.7.0. It behaves properly if I do a new install of 4.7.1 so why is the Upgrade not working properly?
I can't release my site to my customer if they lose data when using the RTE in the upgraded site.
The main reason I upgraded was to use Razor, so I now have roll back all my Razor work and have the customer annoyed that I haven't done the development, or give them the upgraded version knowing that the RTE is corrupted and they MAY lose what they have entered if they re-edit it.
OR
I create a new 4.7.1 site and then manually transfer all my work across, which would take a couple of weeks and then get the client to check if their content is correct (they have already done this).
Have you tried completely clearing your browser cache files? Also, after performing the upgrade, delete the client dependency files in Add_Data, and then open up the client dependency config file and update the version by one. That will force the site to refresh all the cms stylesheets and javascript.
If that doesn't fix it, you could do the fresh install and copy stuff across, but it shouldn't take weeks, it's only a minor upgrade, so all you should need to do to transfer your work across is:
Set up new version of 4.7.1
Copy the database from the current site to the new one (no database changes from 4.7 to 4.7.1)
Copy across the DLLs and folders for any custom packages you've istalled
Copy accross your media library folder
Copy accross any other static resources, such as CSS, Template Images, Javascript etc.
Copy across the language files from the /umbraco/config/ folder (otherwise you'll lose any additional language items that were added by packages, eg the menu text for Contour)
That should be all that you need. The content will be the same, as its the same database, you'll just need to run through and make sure you've copied all the files across and not missed anything. We've done this a couple of times for particularly stubborn issues with upgrades.
Thank You Tim, it now works the same. I did try the alternative you suggested, but I copied the dependency files so it behaved the same. Thank you for your quick response.
I have a similar problem but it's not as simple as just save and republish the page. Its not only the images that disappear. All the HTML in the RTE on the published page is gone as well. I have to remove and then reinsert all images on the page to get it to work. Anyone had this problem as well?
I upgraded from 4.5.2 straight to 4.7.1 and after that this problem started.
Ok. Found the problem myself. Our images had a "rel" attribute. When I removed that it started to work again. So, rel wont work in 4.7.1. Good to know.
Update from 4.7.0 to 4.7.1
Will there be any problems if i update 4.7.0 to 4.7.1?
Is there a upgrade documentation?
Thanks

the only problems that i've got when upgrading was 2 breaking changes in razor:
1. page properties that not returns string values and now return dynamicXml.
2. the constructor of the GetMediaByID changed (i think its a bug that fixed in the latest nighlty build)

Anyone else seen this?
Hi,
@Jeavon Leopold: I had the same issue with embedded images. I also had to go through all pages in order to fix them..
Kind regards
Andreas

Hey
Anyone knows about a fix for the tilde problem? I've got a site with about 8,000 nodes so can't go through them all looking for images.
Thanks

Hi Lou,
No worries, glad you've got it working!
