Hello
Its been a while since i was last here - nearly always it is because something decides to break - this time around i've decided to pro-actively upgrade.
Just renewed my licence.
I'm running 7.6.0 on PHP version 5.6.40 against MySQL 10.1.38 (MariaDB)

Can i just upgrade straight from 7.6.0 to whatever is the latest version i can get from the members area?

I have a parallel universe / test instance that i will try it all out on first, but just wanted to be safe and check with the resident experts first.

Regards

This is what i do

Upgrades

The upgrade path from UBB.threads 7.5.x versions continues to be to move to the most recent version of UBB.threads as they become available. Such as 7.5.6 => 7.7.1 There is no need to do an incremental update from 7.5.8 to 7.5.9 to 7.6.0 to 7.6.1...etc. You should update directly from your current UBB.threads 7 version, to the most recent version of UBB.threads.

Refer to the UBB.threads 7 Upgrade Guide for directions on how to proceed.
https://www.ubbcentral.com/doc_upgrade7.php

Take note; if you are upgrading from a version prior to the last version, incrementally follow the special instructions listed within /install/UPGRADE_INSTRUCTIONS.txt, from each version just above the version you are coming from. Normally there are no special instructions or they explain a new feature for you to configure.

You are fairly current so there really should be no incremental updates needed.
But it is highly suggested that you still make backups of the files and database before your proceed with the update.
