+
+<h1>Upgrading from 1.6.3 to 1.7.0 - In Development!</h1>
+
+<p>Before performing an update you should take your site offline by replacing the index.php file with a static one.</p>
+
+
+
+<h2>Step 1: Update your CodeIgniter files</h2>
+
+<p>Replace these files and directories in your "system" folder with the new versions:</p>
+
+<ul>
+
+<li><dfn>system/codeigniter</dfn></li>
+<li><dfn>system/database</dfn></li>
+<li><dfn>system/helpers</dfn></li>
+<li><dfn>system/language</dfn></li>
+<li><dfn>system/libraries</dfn></li>
+</ul>
+
+<p class="important"><strong>Note:</strong> If you have any custom developed files in these folders please make copies of them first.</p>
+
+
+<h2>Step 2: Update your Session Table</h2>
+
+<p>If you are using the Session class in your application, AND if you are storing session data to a database, you must add a new column named <dfn>user_data</dfn> to your session table. 
+Here is an example of what this column might look like for MySQL:
+
+<code>user_data text NOT NULL</code>
+
+<p>To add this column you will run a query similar to this:</p>
+
+<code>ALTER TABLE `ci_sessions` ADD `user_data` text NOT NULL</code>
+
+<p>You'll find more information regarding the new Session functionality in the  <a href="../libraries/sessions.html">Session class</a> page.</p>
+
+
+<h2>Step 3: Update your Validation Syntax</h2>
+
+<p>This is an <strong>optional</strong>, but recommended step, for people currently using the Validation class.  CI 1.7 introduces a new  <a href="../libraries/form_validation.html">Form Validation class</a>, which 
+deprecates the old Validation library.  We have left the old one in place so that existing applications that use it will not break, but you are encouraged to
+migrate to the new version as soon as possible.  Please read the user guide carefully as the new library works a little differently, and has several new features.</p>
+
+
+
+<h2>Step 4: Update your user guide</h2>
+<p>Please replace your local copy of the user guide with the new version, including the image files.</p>
