    Upgrade BP: step through first versions or last?

    Installing umbraco

    Or every single one?

    Is doing just the first stable release of each new version ok, like from 4.7.2 > 4.8.0 > 4.9.0?

    Or better doing the last release, like from 4.7.2 > 4.8.1 > 4.9.0?

    Or be safe and do every single one, like from 4.7.2 > 4.8.0 > 4.8.1 > 4.9.0?

    My guess would be to do the last one of each. Not all that much difference for this site but I have some older ones that will need to go through several more.

     

    Thanks much.

    Hi Matthew,

    I think its generally best practice to upgrade to each major release, followed by its last patch release.

    However in your case, 4.7.2 -> 4.8.1 -> 4.9.0 should be fine.  4.8.1 has a small DB upgrade, so you don't want to skip that one.  Just take note to any special instructions on each release (even the skipped ones).

    -Tom
