The upgrade packages exclude the files that are typically changed when you customize your installation. The upgrade package can be copied on top of an existing running 1.1.X installation for a quick upgrade to 1.1.0-beta1. See Installation section for details.

Upgrading to 1.1.0-beta1 from a 1.0.X release using the upgrade package is known to have issues. Copying a 1.1.0-beta1 upgrade package on top of a 1.0 will leave a lot obsolete files behind which could cause trouble. Using a LocalSite.cfg file from a 1.0 system will appear to work, but will cause significant issues with QuerySearch. Migration from Foswiki 1.0 to any release of 1.1 should be done using a reinstall.
