What's important is to read the release notes for all the intermediate releases, and take care of the backwards compatibility issues. For example, 2.3 lists that you should also import some documents which won't work in the newer version, 2.4 says that scripts are defered by default, so you should check your custom JSX, if any, and 2.5 says that there are some changes in web.xml. -- Sergiu Dumitriu http://purl.org/net/sergiu/ _______________________________________________ users mailing list [email protected] http://lists.xwiki.org/mailman/listinfo/users
