+<h1>Upgrading from 1.7.2 to 1.7.3</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: Adjust get_dir_file_info() where necessary</h2>
+
+<p>Version 1.7.3 brings a non-backwards compatible change to <kbd>get_dir_file_info()</kbd> in the <a href="../helpers/file_helper.html">File Helper</a>.  Non-backwards compatible changes are extremely rare
+	in CodeIgniter, but this one we feel was warranted due to how easy it was to create serious server performance issues.  If you <em>need</em>
+	recursiveness where you are using this helper function, change such instances, setting the second parameter, <kbd>$top_level_only</kbd> to FALSE:</p>
+
+<code>get_dir_file_info('/path/to/directory', <kbd>FALSE</kbd>);</code>
+
+<h2>Step 3: Update your user guide</h2>
+<p>Please replace your local copy of the user guide with the new version, including the image files.</p>
