Hi there,

at the moment I run BlogEngine.NET 1.4.5 compiled from source. In the last weeks, I have made a few improvements and customization for my blog, but now I start thinking about what will be when 1.5 is released.

I simply can not copy the 1.5 source over the 1.4.5 one, since all my changes would be gone then, but I do certainly not want to stay at 1.4.5 forever ;-).

How would you solve this issue?

Have a nice day,

Golo

I use WinMerge. Every release I just compare the two directories and merge the changes that I did not make. It is not as bad as it seems.

I have the same problem... Is WinMerge free?  What about new files, does it flag up new files that are not in the older version?

Hm, well, okay ... this means manual merging every time ... Eh?

Are you using the English version of BlogEngine.NET?
