Upgrade

  1. Back up the database. User state, snapshots, audit log, released usernames, and reactivation requests all live in the add-on's tables.
  2. Replace the contents of src/addons/MC/Sunset/ with the new release.
  3. Navigate to AdminCP > Add-ons and click Upgrade next to [MC] Sunset.
  4. Run the upgrade steps when prompted.
  5. Confirm the add-on is Active at AdminCP > Add-ons and that both cron entries still appear at AdminCP > Tools > Cron entries.

What may change between versions​

  • New columns or indexes on the user-state, snapshot, audit-log, released-username, or reactivation-request tables.
  • New options. Existing options keep their values; new ones land at their default.
  • New policy types. Policies registered via the mc_sun_policy_register code event are unaffected; new built-in policies appear in the Policies page at their default-off state and need explicit assignment to fire.
  • New phrases, templates, and template modifications.

Patch releases are bug fixes only and are safe to apply without a backup, though one is still recommended. Minor releases may add policies, options, or admin pages. Major releases may rename or remove behaviour; migration notes ship with the release.
