Have the issues with the migration process from v7 to v8 been completely fixed or is it still recommended to do the 2 step migration process? I've done some looking around but haven't found a definitive answer.
Thank you for the reply and the article! I am currently on 7.15.5 so thankfully I have no worries there. Have you personally used the Proworks migration tool to perform the upgrade?
Can you clarify these steps in the link you provided? (There is no step 8 in the article)
So I have to setup a mock site and db? I cant just add the migration package to my current setup and then nuget install the Umbraco v8 packages?
Step 7: Upgrade the Umbraco database to the latest version of Umbraco 8
Download a vanilla Umbraco 8 latest site
Use NuGet to add the ProWorks.Umbraco8.Migrations package to the site
Point the site at the Umbraco database you want to upgrade
Start the site, and run through the upgrade wizard
Step 9: Nuget install Umbraco 8.x.x (latest) into your project
See the following nuget packages:
UmbracoCms
UmbracoCms.Core

Fantastic article here, explaining the progress.
I usually get to 7.15 as fast as possible, including migrating old id-pickers (pre-7.6) if there are any.
Then directly to latest v8, with Proworks migration tool.
IIRC you can't go straight to latest v8 without the Proworks tool, because of missing migrations in core.
Søren,

yes, just recently used it to take a 7.something site all the way to 9.2 :)
