Hi! We should not include more updates than one version: from 4.5 to 4.6 , from 4.6 to 4.7 . Thoughts? Experience with jumping two versions? Regards NK

It makes our user's lives a _LOT_ easier just being able to jump to the latest version .. and I'm thinking with extra care we could make that happen. It involves testing though. Lots and lots of testing. Unit testing updates anyone ? -- Adrian Rossouw Drupal developer and Bryght Guy http://drupal.org | http://bryght.com

Some time back, I upgraded a client from 4.3 (or was it 4.2? Can't remember) to 4.6. I had to do some manual work, mainly see where things fail and do the ALTERs ...etc. by hand. It was all OK at the end, and the site runs fine now. Of course, as always, I took a copy of the database, and files, and did the upgrade on it first. Requiring people to update from X to X+1 to X+2 then to X+3 is a pain, and I would rather not go that route at all.

I think that's a great idea, unfortunately queries cannot be isolated and tested by simpletest.module right now, as I wrote to this list about a week or two ago. -- Tim Altman
