Version 4.2.2 has now been released. This version is a patch release that introduces a number of bug fixes since the last release. Upgrading is not necessary.
To upgrade follow the steps in your website’s http://mybaseurl/upgrader.php script. You will need to copy the URL of the attached TAR file as one of these steps (“3: Upload an upgrade TAR for extraction”).
ยป alternatively (but not recommended), you can manually upload the files inside the attached TAR file over existing files (7-zip is just one of many tools for tar files). This is not recommended because it will bypass the upgraders addon-aware extraction algorithm and potentially cause problems.
Important
ocProducts cannot make any guarantees about the speed of which any new bugs might be patched, for this upgrade or any other upgrade. It is your own responsibility to make and test a full website backup (files and database) before you upgrade, for use in the unlikely event of you wanting to revert your upgrade. Some users may wish to test upgrades (and pre-fix any theme compatibility problems that could occur) on a staging site (a private mirror of their live site).
If you don’t follow our advice by taking and testing a backup, and end up needing emergency repair help, ocProducts can help charged at our hourly rate.
