I've recently taken over development of an internal FuelPHP project. It's using the initial release (v1.0). While not urgent, I would like to start looking at eventually upgrading to a newer release.
Are there any tips on how to proceed? By looking at the docs it appears it would be best to upgrade one release at a time. Are there any safe ways to jump to v1.7 from v1.0?
I'm pretty sure a lot of things have changed between those two versions. I'm not sure upgrading one version at the time is useful, you'll end up working through changes anyway, and test everything.
I think it's best just to upgrade directly to 1.7.1., and start testing. If you bump into a show stopper, just post it here and we'll try to help you out.
