Great, thanks. That's what we've been doing with 1.4->1.5, on a test server. We'll go ahead with that, then move to 1.6.

Thank you for the heads up on the release Brion. We're about to do a 1.4.12 to 1.5.8 upgrade, so it's nice to be aware of this imminent release.

Could you possibly give a rough idea of the issues (if any) we might

run

into going from a 1.5.8 to 1.6.0 upgrade? This might influence our decision to delay our 1.5.8 upgrade and go direct to 1.6.0. The

current

Upgrading help page only addresses 1.5.x and below.

Moving from 1.5 to 1.6 should be pretty smooth; the database changes are relatively minor.

1.4 to 1.5 is a big change, so test that offline first if you're able.
