I am working on xampp (windows). If i want to update my akelos, what steps should i follow. C:\dev\akelos\public ( my orgianl akelos framework directory ) I want to keep an eye on the changes (Nightly builds). i want to update them all... i heard some thing like version controll system??? And also i want to know, whether this will affect my existing applications??? Plz let me know.

you can just create another directory of akelos, and change the defined FRAMEWORK_DIR (i think that was the name) in config/config.php pointing to that new directory, and should work just fine, thats how i did it. additionaly you need to copy scripts directory of your new akelos to the old one.
I just recently did this, i was using the "public download" (like 3 months old i think), and i have not made any change to my code for this, so im pretty sure your application is gonna be fine.

Comment: additionaly you need to copy scripts directory of your new akelos to the old one.
what the use of copying the old script directory(old version) into the new one which we are currently using(new version)??? and i think the new script directory(new version) has some newly added features...

if this is your config: c:/www/new_akelos c:/www/myportal/app c:/www/myportal/script <-- this directory should be replaced for "c:/www/new_akelos/script"
like i said, thats how i did it, and it works without any problem. im pretty sure the scripts directory has some new features but im not core developer to tell. the only new feature i have used from those scripts is the aktionmailer generator.
