I'm new to opencart but not web applications or servers. I've just finished a long process of theming and kitting out two 1.5.6 shops with bespoke branding and lots of extensions etc. and was about to put them both live, when I noticed that the latest version of opencart is 1.5.6.3. I kinda assumed that opencart would either have a point-and-click upgrade manager, or that upgrade patch files would be issued as necessary, but from what I can see that is not the case. As my office 'pooter is a Mac (which will not do an automatic selective file replacement by drag-and-drop) I have had to painstakingly upload every extension file by hand for each shop.
Have i really got to do the same for each incremental update of opencart? Please tell me I haven't got to upload all the new files, then manually install every extension from scratch each time (plus my theme) ... please tell me I'm missing something ...PLEASE!
