Upgrading

Note: You need to run either "update.php" or "setupStore.php". Apart from that, no other script needs to be run.

Get the new version via Composer:

Step 1: if you are upgrading from SMW older than 4.0.0, ensure the SMW version in composer.json is ^4.2.0
Step 2: run composer in your MediaWiki directory: composer update --no-dev --optimize-autoloader
Step 3: run either MediaWiki's update.php or SemanticMediaWiki's setupStore.php maintenance script

Get the new version via Git:

This is only for those who have installed SMW via Git.

Step 1: do a git pull in the SemanticMediaWiki directory
Step 2: run composer update --no-dev --optimize-autoloader in the MediaWiki directory
Step 3: run either MediaWiki's update.php or SemanticMediaWiki's setupStore.php maintenance script

The parser function was called multiple times but with a different language code ("en") which is to be avoided as content of a page is generally expected to be represented by a single language.
