Upgrading to 5.5.0 from 5.4.0

Permalink
We had to upgrade a clients website from 5.4.0 since file set ordering was not included in that version. I wanted to be sure I could upgrade directly to 5.5.0 from 5.4.0 so I looked at the version release notes, took a look on the forum, and all I could find was the helpful warning on the downloads page "(**note, if you are running a version before 5.3.3 you must first upgrade to 5.3.3 and only then will automatic updates behave. **)".

Since my clients website is on a C5 version "after" 5.3.3, I assumed I should be good to go. Only after downloading/uploading 5.5.0 and trying to install do I get the message "You must first upgrade your site to version 5.4.2.2".

This is super annoying seeing it takes forever to upload the concrete5 directory, and especially seeing I took a look at the documentation before attempting to upgrade to avoid wasting time.

It would be nice if the upgrading/version documentation was more accurate, and it would be REALLY nice if concrete5 offered automatic upgrading (like WordPress).

Hi, Concrete5 does have automatic updates like wordpress, its just that version 5.4.2.2 is the latest "stable" version of Concrete5, and version 5.5 is currently the latest release but is not being pushed through the auto upgrade path yet to give theme and add-on developers a chance to update their their code to be compatible, once this has happened 5.5 will be pushed to the automatic update.

If you have a look on the download page, the version that you can upgrade to via your C5 dashboard is listed under "Latest Stable version"
