It has been pretty much been plug-and-play when I have migrated several
large apps with each new release (2.1.4 through 2.1.10; 2.2 seems to be a
different issue).
Reason to upgrade: improved/added features and stability (e.g. newjx, ajax).
If you are using jx for CForms, the performance of the newjx generator is
worth an upgrade.
Biggest gotcha: forgetting to include app specific jars in the build (e.g.,
activation, mail, saxon). You can drop them in the lib afterward and
restart.
Most extensive required modification: in form templates, changing the action
attribute in the ft:form-template element from
action="#{$continuation/id}.continue" to
action="#{$cocoon/continuation/id}.continue" for the newjx generator.
I'm sure there have been other minor changes associated with an upgrade, but
these have not been difficult or time consuming.
