Hello, There are many bug fixes, security fixes, performance improvements, etc in every single minor "point" release: you should really always be aiming to keep up to date with minor versions soon after their release, and to major versions eventually. See here for DSpace 5.x:
https://wiki.duraspace.org/display/DSDOC5x/Release+Notes I recommend that you store your organization's customizations in a git repository (fork the official DSpace one!), rebase your changes on top of upstream DSpace minor point releases branches, and test frequently. As for major versions like 5→6 and 6→7, you will need to port your changes over a little more manually and update them. It's a good lesson in keeping organizational customizations to a minimum (and never change the core DSpace!).
