[Seaside] Re: Seaside application deployment/migration/update

[Robert Sirois]

Version uploader in tools is probably the easiest way to go. If you change something in your model such as deleting a variable, then that data goes away.. otherwise you can add on all you want.

If you want to make a major change, you would want to merge the data to your new objects somehow.
