about how to develop plugins at http://picocms.org/plugin-dev.html. If you'd
developed a plugin for Pico 0.9 and older, you probably want to upgrade it
to the brand new plugin system introduced with Pico 1.0. Please refer to the

## Upgrading to Pico 1.0
We worked hard to make the upgrade process to Pico 1.0 as easy as possible -
and we think we made the grade. Usually you don't have to consider anything
special, nevertheless you should create a backup of your Pico installation
before upgrading.
The first step is to delete all of Picos files except for your `content`
directory, `config.php` (or `config/config.php`) and, if applicable, the
directory of your custom theme. Provided that you're using plugins, also keep
the `plugins` directory. You can then upload Pico 1.0 to your installation
directory. Please refer to the websites of the plugins you're using to get
updates for them.
The new `PicoDeprecated` plugin ensures backward compatibility to Pico 0.9 and
older. The plugin is disabled by default, but gets automatically enabled as
soon as a old plugin is loaded. We will maintain backward compatibility for
a long time, however, we recommend you to take the following steps to confine
the neccessity of `PicoDeprecated` to old plugins. If you don't use plugins or
upgraded all plugins to be compatible to Pico 1.0, you must take these steps.
If you're a plugin developer, please refer to the new development docs,
particularly the [plugin upgrade section][PluginUpgrade].
* Move your `config.php` to the new `config/` directory.
* URL Rewriting became optional in Pico 1.0. If you don't use the `.htaccess`
file provided by Pico, you must update your rewriting rules to let the
webserver rewrite internal links (e.g. `index.php?sub/page`) correctly.
You musn't update your markdown files or custom Twig templates if you keep
URL rewriting enabled. Otherwise you have to rectify all internal links in
markdown files (e.g. <code>&#37;base_url&#37;?sub/page</code>) and your
custom Twig templates (e.g. (e.g. `{{ "sub/page"|link }}`)).
* Pico 1.0 doesn't parse the contents of all pages anymore. This can be put
down to the massive performance impact, but leads to the removal of the
generation of auto-generated excerpts.
