WebDeploy, Web PI, and WebMatrix Users

Use the WebDeploy package provided which includes the Microsoft SQL CE runtime files and installer.

Important when upgrading

• Upgrade as if it was a patch release (update /bin, /umbraco and /umbraco_client). For general upgrade information follow the guide found at http://our.umbraco.org/wiki/install-and-setup/upgrading-an-umbraco-installation
• 4.7 requires the .NET 4.0 framework
• Delete /bin/Microsoft.Scripting.dll, /bin/Iron.dll, /bin/RazorEngine.dll

Web.Config changes

• Update the web web.config to include the 4 changes found in (they're clearly marked in the web.config in 4.7 as <!-- Added in Umbraco 4.6.2 -->):
  • A new sectionGroup under <configSections/>
  • It's three new keys under <appSettings/>
  • A new buildprovider section under <compilation/>
  • A new system.web.webPages.razor element under <configuration/>

Breaking changes

• The definition of IMacroEngine has changed
• Properties with html used in Razor needs to be wrapped in Html.Raw() ie. @Html.Raw(Model.BodyText) leaving this wrapper off will cause HTML to be encoded and render to the screen.
• IronPython and IronRuby is now not a part of the distribution and needs to be installed by unzipping the contents of the separate macroengine download

Known issues

• Microsoft.Web.Infrastructure.dll is missing in the /bin folder. That's needed if you don't have WebMatrix installed! You can download it from here http://umbraco.codeplex.com/SourceControl/changeset/view/17f475a4adb8# under foreign dlls/webpages
• ZIpUpload dashboard doesn't work (will be fixed for final)
