When upgrading between versions there is an upgrade database script to run.. please see:

http://www.konakart.com/docs/CreateDatabase.html#UpgradeDB

One way to upgrade is to download the zip install and inside that you will find the database upgrade scripts you need and all the new jars to copy over.

Another method would be to save your current customisations aside, then install the new version of KonaKart (specify the same database as you did before but don't load the tables this time);  run the db upgrade script(s) that are required to get from your old version to the new one, then finally you can copy back your own customisations.

(It's probably a good idea to quicky run the new version of KonaKart before you copy your customisations back in just to check that things are working as expected).

Which route you take is rather dependent on your starting position.

Note that we go to great lengths to maintain backwards compatibility at the API level... so your old client code should always work against the new versions.

If new features have been added to the client side in our storefront application in the new release that you want in your heavily-customised storefront, you should probably install a separate instance of KonaKart and refer to that to copy over the new features that you require.
