Issue Summary
Newb question: what steps would I use to upgrade Webform on my site from 7.x-3.18 to 7.x-4.0-alpha6? It doesn't get offered as an automatic update. Should I uninstall 3.18 and then install 4.0? Or do I need to expand the archive file and manually copy the files into my site using ftp?
Thanks,
SG

That is a Alpha Release. I don't know if it is stable to use it on a live site? It would be nice to hear if it is ready to use on live sites.

No, definitely not. If you uninstall 3.18 (or any version) it will delete ALL your forms and submissions! Bad news.
To upgrade to 4.x, just download the archive and replace the existing copy of the webform module. Run update.php afterwards to upgrade your data. Note that you CANNOT downgrade to 3.x again after upgrading, so it's recommended you back up your database before doing the upgrade, and check compatibility with any modules you use that integrate with Webform. Not all of them have updated support for 4.x yet.
4.x by itself is quite stable. It's being used by several thousand users to make forms on http://webform.com. I'd recommend using it if you would like better conditional support.

Thank you. I upgraded and it works fine.

Unfortunately, I upgraded and got an error message:
Warning: require_once(/home/plainen2/public_html/sites/all/modules/webform/includes/webform.admin.inc) [function.require-once]: failed to open stream: No such file or directory in menu_execute_active_handler() (line 514 of /home/plainen2/public_html/includes/menu.inc).And now my Status Report complains about schema issues:
Database schema Inconsistent
The Schema comparison report shows:
89 modules with matching tables
27 extra tables
3 warnings
2 modules with mis-matching tables
The database schema comparison report provides more details.
Interestingly, everything related to my old Webform still seems to work OK.
I have the following modules installed; might one of them be interfering with the upgrade process?
Webform Conditional (webform_conditional)Webform Layout (webform_layout)
Webform MySQL Views (webform_mysql_views)
Webform Phone Number (webform_phone)
Webform Report (webform_report)
webform reports (webform_reports)
Webform Table Element (webform_table_element)
Webform table element Form Builder support (webform_table_element_formbuilder)
Webform Template (webform_template)
Webform Tokens (webform_tokens)
Webform Validation (webform_validation)
