web2py does not upgrade any file in your applications. Some important parts of the framework are not part of the libraries, but part of the Welcome app. New apps will inherit these framework changes, but not existing apps. You need to do copy or merge changes manually. Sometimes this is necessary to take advantage of new functionality, and sometimes it is necessary for compatibility with new releases, particularly if you are using experimental features. The web2py group at Google Groups is a good way to keep track of necessary changes. Parts of the welcome app to copy to existing apps are the appadmin controller, the top-level views including appadmin.html and the generic views, and the contents of the static folder which contains the latest version of important javascript files. Obviously you need to merge your changes (if any). Keeping backups or using a version control system is a sound idea.
