    Yes, see exec/exportcfg.js

    From a post by Digital Man a while ago:
    If you upgrade to v3.20a (the current master development code) either via source build or by downloading pre-built binaries, you'll need to run 'jsexe update' to upgrade your user base and configuration files to their new forma See docs/newuserbase.txt and docs/newcfgfiles.txt for more details.

    Currently I'm running my BBS under a custom Baja file. Will that also have to be changed to Java?

    I think you mean JavaScript (not Java), but still, the answer is: No, Baja-compiled .bin files are still supported in v3.20.

    If you upgrade to Synchronet 3.20, xtrn.cnf (along with all the .cnf files) will become .ini files, which are human-readable.

    I ran the upgrade at some point when I moved to version 3.20 (I usually
    update from git on a regular basis)
    So I already have the migrations to .ini from that time

    1) is it safe/necessary to run the upgrade script again? I understand
    that if the .ini already exist, they will not be recreated from the .cnf
    and overwrite the current ones, right?

    2) if I already have the .ini respectively the .cnf (for example I
    already have xtrn.ini), can I delete xtrn.cnf? I'm just asking as a way
    to clean unnecessary files.

    thank you

    You should run 'jsexec update.js' pretty much after every update/rebuild/upgrade, no matter what.

    Yes, you should not need the .cnf files, but keeping a backup isn't a bad idea. --
