Hi Scott, the master branch is very stable right now and I think it is very likely that a release would come out within the next few months. In general to upgrade you would:
- Install the master branch - Upgrade django - Run migrations The one caveat is that migrations are now handled directly inside Django, but previously in Django 1.6 we used South for migrations. I'm not sure if that complicated upgrading from 1.6 to 1.8. Anyone else know? If you don't have any content you need to save you could just wipe your database, upgrade Mezzanine and Django and then create a new database. Good luck!
