myxwiki.org farm is tracking the latest versions and we update

as soon as a release is out. However we can't upgrade the

in it on behalf of its users because it would mean overwriting any
change you'd have made to existing pages that are in the default
XAR.
Thus we let you do some part of admin work and it's your charge to
upgrade your wiki.

our site is new, we don't have
any
applications and there are no upgrade implications.
ok then the upgrade should be easy for you.
Said differently we handle the runtime upgrades but we let you handle
the content upgrades (since it's impossible for us to do with
confidence and since we want to share the admin burden - remember that
admin for this farm is done by the community).
Thanks
