update the framework to the latest version - Erepaing - 05-07-2025

I am in the process of updating my CodeIgniter framework from version 4.1.3 to 4.1.4. The process requires me to update incrementally, step by step for each version. I initially attempted to use the "composer update" command, however, it only updated the libraries and not the framework itself. As a result, I am searching for a solution to effectively update the framework to the latest version.

for chnages seee: https://codeigniter.com/user_guide/installation/upgrade_414.html

mm well what does the "framework" look like :

Code:
[andrew@darkstar http]$ tree CI4-CMS -L 1

CI4-CMS

├── Gruntfile.js

├── LICENSE

├── LICENSE-CI4-CMS

├── README-codeigniter.md

├── README.md

├── app

├── clean.sh

├── composer.json

├── composer.lock

├── node_modules

├── package-lock.json

├── package.json

├── preload.php

├── preload_bk.php

├── public

├── scss

├── spark

├── vendor

└── writable

and what happens when you update with composer ?

if you go to in my case web dev apache :

[CODE}

[andrew@darkstar framework]$ pwd
/srv/http/CI4-CMS/vendor/codeigniter4/framework

Code:
[CODE}

[andrew@darkstar framework]$ ls

LICENSE    app   env     preload.php  spark tests

README.md  composer.json  phpunit.xml.dist  public system  writable

if we look at:

Code:
[andrew@darkstar framework]$ sdiff -Z  /srv/http/CI4-CMS/vendor/codeigniter4/framework/app/Config/Paths.php  /srv/http/CI4-CMS/app/Config/Paths.php

<?php <?php

namespace Config; namespace Config;

/** /**

there is a change in Paths.php so basically updating goes to vendor. To make changes in framework, you have to look think about & take files from : /srv/http/CI4-CMS/vendor/codeigniter4/framework into your framework
