Upgrade from v3.X.X to v3.Y.Y #839

Closed mrmyroll2 closed 2 months ago

mrmyroll2 commented 2 months ago

What's the most efficient approach for updating versions, like transitioning from v3.8.4 to v3.9.0? Currently, I updated the extension in Visual Studio and then replaced the old [DB].tt and EF.Reverse.POCO.v3.ttinclude files. Next, I manually compared the [DB].tt with the previous setup like connection string etc. However, I'm seeking a more efficient approach. Hopefully you can also shared it on the README.md

Hi @mrmyroll2 I've a very simple wiki page on it here: Upgrading Version

Thanks for your reply. It's working, but there's another issue: we might be missing out on new features because I'm still using the old.tt file. I've noticed some differences between the old.tt and new.tt files, which could mean I'm not seeing all the latest settings.

Maybe can try the old version's method with a config file, or even switch to a json file. This might not only cover the connection string but also other setup options. Just a thought; not sure if it's feasible with the current version. 😅
