Safest way to upgrade to latest version of Girder?

[Ron]

*Exactly* what plugin are we talking about ?

[Mark F]

The serial port stuff is kept in the registry. This really shouldn't be affected by upgrading Girder. (famous last words)

However, if you as paranoid as me, :smile: you could:

Export each of your serial devices to a file.
Upgrade.
Import the devices back into the serial plugin.


As for the commands in the .gir file(s), I don't think the upgrade will affect this at all. The file definition hasn't changed for a long time.

For the record, I have upgraded my version of Girder many times and not had any lost commands or data.

[Mark F]

That is what I did.

I use the Serial plugin extensively and wish to upgrade to the latest version for some additional features what is the safest simplist way without losing my Serial port setup etc.....
