Hi, XWiki team,
It seems to me that upgrading the XWiki version on XWiki farm is
very hard to do since it is not done for quite some time. Is this
an indicator that maintaining an XWiki server with live sites is
not easy?
Is there a path for site managers to move up to the next version
XWiki? Or, is there a way for users to get to the new version or
get around the problems of the old version? Not everyday everyone
is starting from a clean new version, everyone has to face the
upgrading time. If XWiki farm sites have to stay in old, old
version, I guess moving up is really difficult. It does not look
good to potential new users.
Thanks for thinking about this issue.

Hi, Wei-hsing,
I think your question is quite pertinent, but we can find part of
the answer in some previous messages from XWiki developers. For
instance, read this from Vincent...
"First, as you've asked about the distinctions it means the
description on the download page isn't good enough so that needs to
be improved. I wouldn't mind getting your help for that :)"
XWiki is quickly changing/improving, so at this stage if is not
easy to give a clear update workflow. In what concern updates when
changes in the database are not implied, I think the process is so
easy as to install the new release and point it to the already
created database. Particular care must be taken in what concern to
changes in configuration files and/scripts and while importing
files from a new xar (xwiki-application-panels-1.1-milestone-3.xar)
file.
All this must be reflected in this download page, or in a page
clearly linked to it. But this is a work to be done and to what all
contributions will be welcome! I do hope dev people agree with this
paragraph :-)
