@stuntshell :
Did you have any information stored before the upgrade  ?
If yes - did the information (data - meetings, contacts etc') remained or did the upgrade wipe it ?

The data will be left on the server. Update your GO by installing the new version over your old one (backup the data first) and then run http://server/gofolder/install/upgrade.php

Nothing lost, the database isn't touched at all, only the files.
Now for the 2.17 version there is a lot of addons and changes, I still haven't upgraded yet because I'm looking at the sql scheme from one to another, it seems that an upgrade won't be possible.

Not quite true (as stated in the readme file). The upgrade.php file should take care of all changes. Will post back with the findings when i upgrade.

Edit: I can confirm my statement. All you have to do is to:
1. Backup your database
2. Move away your old source files.
3. Put the new files at the right location and set the proper permissions
4. If exists copy your old config.php to the new files.
5. Launch your browser and go to install/upgrade.php

Now that was way too quick! Did you actually do it, or just pasted the from the Read-Me file?  

I actually dunno it! And I recommend the upgrade for all the great new features, but...2.17 is still Beta.

Thanks,

I actually did it and i did paste the output from the readme file.
I'm translating GO to my native language and i don't mind if it dies on me because i can always reinstall it. So i just deleted all the files (copyed config.ini to a safe place) and then extracted GO to my old folder, copyed config.ini and chowned to www:www and ran install/upgrade.php. I can send you some screens but i did notice that the new version doesn't display it's version number.

And yes the upgrade was quick and painless and it took less than 5 minutes including extracting and downloading the new version.

And please note that 2.17 is stable now.

I tried to export my LDAP address book from SME through Horde to a csv file and then import this csv file into GO.
The problem is that it will not import the csv file. It seems to take all the headings as a single field.
I also tried removing the header fields but there is just no way that I can see around this other than using Navicat or some other tool to import directly to the user database table.
