MEGA Cloud

If you use the MEGA cloud service integration, please make sure to update your installed MEGAcmd version to 1.1.0, which is done automatically with the Windows installer if MEGAcmd checkbox is selected during install and for the snap package for Linux, other operating systems must update manually. You can download MEGAcmd 1.1.0 from https://mega.nz/cmd.

Compatibility

Version 2.6 upgrades the internal database format to a new version (v4), making it incompatible with older versions. Your database schema will be automatically upgraded during the first start. Older software versions using the cloud sync will show a warning about incompatible database versions recommending to upgrade the software version to resolve the issue.

How to Update

First, it is highly recommended to create a backup before proceeding (File->Backup).
Symphytum can be updated to the latest version manually by downloading and repeating the installation procedure.

Note: Close Symphytum before starting the installation

Please visit the download section on the main page and download the appropriate executable for your operating system. The software will detect and upgrade automatically the internal database structure, if required, on first launch.

Windows portable: to update your windows portable folder, just copy the portable_data folder over to the new portable folder (once extracted).
