Beyond Compare is the best, for these type of jobs. :)

As for the files, I don't think any are moded except for one so upgrading those is quite easy.

I'm afraid of RC now so I'll wait for Stable. :D

I've hacked my showgroups to bits, so I'll probably not change that file nor the relevant templates. :)

I don't use showgroups and the mail functioning is working fine. So I guess I'll only update the bug regarding people making themselves registered...

Hehe araxis is definately the best. It cleans up against beyond compare. But i found some more problems today. This is all probably related to the fact i'm running a averagely hacked board :)

Can a person manually upgrade from 2.2.8 to 2.3.0 without having to go up to 2.2.9 in the middle?

Yes as long as you run upgrade22.php and upgrade23.php (in that order).

nonono. I mean "manually" upgrade using filecompare instead of doing it the "loseallthehacksandmodsinstalled" way. ;)

It never freaking fails. I just got around to going from 2.2.6 to 2.2.9 and what do they do a week later? ARGH!

Yes but your site is massive amy... I'm sure you don't have "too" many major modifcations ;)

Thankfully Steve says that this update doesn't include security fixes, just bug fixes and the addition of vbmail(), so it's not a critical ugprade.
