Question about updates
-
This may sound silly but I have been asking myself this for a long time…
Imagine that 0.97.0 is release, that is, full-release.
Then imagine that after a couple of days we already have two updates, 0.97.2 and 0.97.4.
Now the real question is: can we just upgrade directly to 0.97.4 or do we need to first upgrade to 0.97.2 and only then to 0.97.4?
I have always loaded all the intermediate upgrades just to keep it on the safe side…
But occasionally it could save some minutes if I could patch it only with the latest upgrade and that's why I'm asking ;-).

Anyone correct me if I'm wrong, but it is possible to simply upgrade to the latest release. The updates occur via a tarball that blindly updates all of the files. Whether this will change in the future and incorporate a "diff" process or something of that sort, I'm not certain. Thanks!

All of this is temporary. We have a very smart binary diff update system that will handle updating. It's on our list to complete in the next couple weeks as we wind down from fixing bugs.

Sorry to keep this topic running but English is not my native language… ::)
I'm still not 100% sure about this even after your comments on it ???.
Simple question: if I have a WRAP 0.90 running on my box can I take the most recent 2..5 MB release update (let's say a 0.97) and update it without doing all the intermediate updates? -

Geee, thanks Scott.
That will definately save me a lot of time while upgrading my boxes ;).
