I just updated our Roundcube-Stable Installation from 0.8.2 to 0.8.3
via ./bin/installto.sh
and found 3 not so good thing in the main.inc.php.

1. The Config-Line for the Useragent:

The old line was:
$rcmail_config['useragent'] = 'Roundcube Webmail/'.RCMAIL_VERSION;

installto.sh sets it to:

$rcmail_config['useragent'] = 'Roundcube Webmail/0.8.3';


2. Config-Lines from plugins that must be configure in the main.inc.php
are lost. Here it is the plugin show_additional_headers and the line
$rcmail_config['show_additional_headers'] = array('Content-Type',
'Content-Transfer-Encoding', 'User-Agent', 'Mailer', 'X-Mailer',
'X-Newsreader', 'X-Posting-Agent', 'X-Http-User-Agent', 'X-MimeOLE');


3. All user defined comments in the config are lost.


Issues like these are some of the reason I never update an existing installation, but always install fresh each time. I typically use a copy of the database for major version changes (0.7.x -> 0.8), but not for incrementals. I'll also do a diff on the main.inc.php.dist from the existing to the new version - if there are no diffs, I'll simply copy the previous main.inc.php to the new, otherwise I'll verify the changes and re-config as needed.

I've written a step-by-step document for myself to make sure I don't miss any of our customizations during version upgrades. It takes me about 20 minutes to bring up a new version, which I typically run in tandem with the prior version for a few days for testing before I roll it out to our users.
