 +Note: In all versions, you can usually retain your old copies of the files ''​gsconfig.php''​ and ''​.htaccess''​ (especially for minor upgrades, meaning a version number change of less than 1). That's handy if those files contain your custom configs. ​
 +
 +For major upgrades, their structure or content may be changed in the new version of GS, in which case you can't simply retain the old copies of ''​gsconfig.php''​ and ''​.htaccess''​. ​
 +
 +Check the release notes for the new version-- it should indicate whether you need to replace those files with the new ones. If so, compare your old copies with the new ones. Compare paths, salts, rewrite base etc. Apply your custom configs the new files if necessary.

 +**New with 3.3.9** - The htmleditor included with GS, CKEDITOR has been bumped from 3.x to 4.5.7, this is a major upgrade for ckeditor and any custom configurations settings, themes, and plugins you are using may not be compatible. it is recommended you remove them then slowly add them back, or check ckeditors web site for updated versions of plugins and themes that are compatible with 4.x. Check your gsconfig.php for any GSEDITOROPTIONS definitions and adjust as necessary. If you are using a custom_config js script, you may also want to check it for plugins and update with the config.js included in the ckeditor. folder.
