Maybe stupid question - updating

[Peter-Otto Weber <cy...@hotmail.de>]

Hello,

is it easy to update to newer releases?

Lets say to 5.0.0-M5.

How will new official releases be announced ?

Does it make sense to update M5 right now?

Regards

POW

5.0.0-M5 hasn't been released yet. Its only available as Snapshot.
Releases will be announced via website and mailing list. There will be also
discussions and vote's on the dev mailing list to discuss releases ready.

M4 is not even recommended for Prod usage yet. The "M" in the version
number stands for beta. Although I may understand people want to use it
since it doesn't require Flash.

Re upgrade process: See: https://openmeetings.apache.org/Upgrade.html
There is a backup and re-import feature. If you want to migrate
users/rooms/files from one installation to another.

However if you don't mind loosing some of the user generated data you can
also simply start a new instance.
