(For reader under 3.0, I think it should work too, but I suggest to switch to 3.2 before anyway. For readers running 2.x, wow, upgrade to 3.0, then 3.2 then 3.4) > Can we move our data or is it better to do a fresh load? How > different is the database in 3.4? the DB is quite different but the upgrade takes care of DB upgrade. However, depending on your size & how critical it is to have things live working smoothly, it's always wise to have a test/integration server before upgrading... > Your advice to this newbie is greatly appreciated. Another question you could ask yourself is: * what's important for me in the 3.4 ? (which killer feature I'm waiting for impatiently) * which risk do I accept (ie: if there is a problem that prevents me to work, how long/critical can it be ?) * which ressources do I have to solve a problem Depending on the answers to the previous questions, it may be better/wise to wait for 3.4.1 or 3.4.2, or even 3.4.4 ! To summarize: "if it works, don't fix it" ;-) -- Paul POULAIN http://www.biblibre.com Expert en Logiciels Libres pour l'info-doc Tel : (33) 4 91 81 35 08
