Re: [Gmod-tripal] Tripal v3 Released

[Stephen F. <ste...@ws...>]

A few more details I should include....

*To Upgrade from an existing pre-release 3.x version:*

Simply use Drupal or Drush to retrieve the most recent version of Tripal 
v3 and update the database.  For example, to update using Drush:

drush updatedb


*To Upgrade from Tripal v2*

Please see the Upgrade Instructions in the User's Guide: 
https://tripal.readthedocs.io/en/latest/user_guide/install_tripal/upgrade_from_tripal2.html

*Getting Help*

If you encounter any issues please use the Tripal GitHub queue to post a 
description of the problem and someone will respond in short order.
