SocialEngine clients can grab the new SE Self-Hosted 4.8.5 code from the client area. Remember to make a complete backup of your installation before performing an upgrade. If you’ve made significant custom changes to your source code, remember that they could pose problems during the upgrade process, so enlist a developer to help you if you’re not comfortable with the process yourself. We do have an upgrade service available for $150. You can purchase it from your customer account at SocialEngine Client Store.
As always, please submit any feature or bug requests for SE Self-Hosted to our public bug and feature request tracker.
