===If you use a 3.5.x release ==== | |||
My advice is to update directly to 3.7.0 or any subsequent release available at [[Software]]. This is because several 3.6.y releases have problems. | |||
But there are actions you need to do depending on what features you use in MX: | |||
*If you use database tables, be aware that the schema (Column names that must be in a table) varies between different versions in this range. | |||
**The updating feature in MX will only work if all the columns named in that update already exist in the database table it is trying to update. | |||
**Look at individual release announcements to see the tools provided for adding the columns added at particular versions. | |||
*If you have your own customised web pages, then there are changes to web tags that might lead to you needing to edit your web pages. | |||
*If you use commas to separate integer and decimal parts of real numbers, then these releases give you useful extra functionality that will let you do more with scripts. | |||
