cd [dspace]/lib cp postgresql.jar [dspace-1.4.x-source]/lib
Note: Licensing conditions for the handle.jar file have changed. As a result, the latest version of the handle.jar file is not included in this distribution. It is recommended you read the new license conditions and decide whether you wish to update your installation's handle.jar. If you decide to update, you should replace the existing handle.jar in [dspace-1.4.x-source]/lib with the new version.

Your 'localized' JSPs (those in jsp/local) now need to be maintained in the source directory. If you have locally modified JSPs in your [dspace]/jsp/local directory, you will need to merge the changes in the new 1.4.x versions into your locally modified ones. You can use the diff command to compare your JSPs against the 1.4.x versions to do this. You can also check against the DSpace CVS.
In [dspace-1.4.x-source] run:
ant -Dconfig= [dspace]/config/dspace.cfg update
For PostgreSQL: [dspace-1.4.x-source]/etc/database_schema_13-14.sql contains the SQL commands to achieve this for PostgreSQL. To apply the changes, go to the source directory, and run:psql -f etc/database_schema_13-14.sql [DSpace database name] -h localhost
For Oracle: [dspace-1.4.x-source]/etc/oracle/database_schema_13-14.sql should be run on the DSpace database to update the schema.
Rebuild the search indexes: [dspace]/bin/index-all
Copy the .war Web application files in [dspace-1.4-source]/build to the webapps sub-directory of your servlet container (e.g. Tomcat). e.g.:
cp [dspace-1.4-source]/build/*.war [tomcat]/webapps
If you're using Tomcat, you need to delete the directories corresponding to the old .war files. For example, if dspace.war is installed in [tomcat]/webapps/dspace.war, you should delete the [tomcat]/webapps/dspace directory. Otherwise, Tomcat will continue to use the old code in that directory.
