SocialEngine clients can grab the new SE Self-Hosted 4.8.1 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.

As always, please submit any feature or bug requests for SE Self-Hosted to our public bug and feature request tracker.
