when its good enough :slight_smile:
So please help testing and hunt for bugs - all we chase down before the final release will not annoy us laterā€¦

Hi there,

big question on my mind:
If I am NOT hunting for the newest features but just want a hassle free update (from 4.4.5) with as little bugs and problems as possible - which version should I update to? On http://www.oxidforge.org/Home it says ā€œVersion 4.6.0.final has been releasedā€ - does that mean everything after that is just beta?

All I need is a running shop with a running efire paypal module. Do I even need to update? It seems that some of our customers have problems paying with PayPal and I suppose thatā€™s because our version is getting oldā€¦?

Iā€™d be happy to hear which version is ā€œmost finalā€ :o

Hi Micha,

Meant is the 4.6.x series. The most final of it is now 4.6.5.

Updating of course is not a must, but every time a good idea because we cannot support all versions for the last 30 years :wink: As you can see from cumulative update packages, that there are steps built in like for 4.4.8 and 4.5.11. It is recommended, to take this steps.

Hi Marco,

thank you - I was afraid that you would say that.

I assume you are aware of the fact that updating a shop can/will lead to a myriad of problems - e.g. white pages because a file happes to be missing (see http://forum.oxid-esales.com/showthread.php?t=14327), error messages because the shop wants to read a directory that hasnā€™t been created (promo), adjusting templates (which has been changed enormously since 4.4.5), installing modulesā€¦

I think there would be quite a few readers who would like to avoid updatingā€¦ :(ā€¦

This time I will document every step of my updating process and the problems I face and the solutions I find (thanks to this forum)ā€¦ Maybe I post it for others like me for whom updating is a nighmareā€¦

Thanks anyway for posting in this forumā€¦ I donā€™t have a clue how you people find the time and the patience to be so helpful :slight_smile:

nore me - unless they get paid for :slight_smile:

By the way, I would suggest to try the update with a copy of your shop first, before updating the live one. You are free to open a new thread anywhere in forums when you face problems while updating - there will always be some helping hands around, IĀ“m sure!
