Re: Is an upgrade from 1.6 to 1.11 as complicated as migrating from 1.1 to 1.6?
What I found was that many third-party apps did not (yet) seem to support 1.11. So a move to 1.10 was most pragmatic for us, with the assumption that migrating to 1.11 would be straightforward in about a year or so. And, yes, work in Python 3 unless a very good reason not to. > Thanks Andreas, > > Looking at the docs its seems upgrading to 1.11 LTS would give us the > longest > future in terms of updates.

Re: Is an upgrade from 1.6 to 1.11 as complicated as migrating from 1.1 to 1.6?
The main problem is as I said earlier your implementation. There COULD be things that you use (like packages that aren't upgraded or code that doesn't work) which make the upgrade to 1.11 harder. But it should absolutely be possible. I would consider trying to get to 1.11 as it's like you said an LTS. Going from 1.11 to 2.0 could be harder though - as 2.0 will ONLY support python 3.

Re: Is an upgrade from 1.6 to 1.11 as complicated as migrating from 1.1 to 1.6?
Thanks Andreas,
Looking at the docs its seems upgrading to 1.11 LTS would give us the
longest
future in terms of updates. Is there any reason we should consider 1.10
over 1.11?
Thanks

Also - you should really be upgrading to a supported LTS version
regardless of what management thinks is necessary. The problem here
isn't the time it takes to do the upgrade, but the things that are
excluded by running an older version of django. Updates to django come
on a regular basis and only come for the supported versions (right now
1.10 and 1.11). You REALLY don't want to run an old version of django
because of security exploits.

I upgraded from 1.3 to 1.5. That was the hard part I think. We are currently running version 1.10 and the updates to that version have been without a problem. That being said - it all depends on what your application does. If you do a lot of things that are specific for your application.
