Drupal Upgrades & Drupal Migration

Druapl 7 is just round the corner. Whenever there is a new major release of Drupal, you might want to upgrade to get new, powerfull, more secure features. It's time to ditch Drupal 5 and 6 and upgrade to Drupal 7. It is strongly recommended that you always keep your Drupal site up to date with the very latest releases available, to remove known security vulnerabilities and existing bugs.

We have spent many hours  previewing and implementing Drupal 7′s features and are extreamily impressed with the new design concept of:

• Make the most frequent tasks easy, and less frequent tasks achievable.
• Design for the 80%.
• Privilege the content creator – people spent most of their time managing content.
• Make the default settings smart.

This greatly improves usability for you, the end user aswell as making your site, faster, more powerfull and safer than ever. If you are running an old drupal site we strongly recommend now is the time to upgrade.

About Drupal versions:

Before you start upgrading your Drupal installation it is important that you know the difference between a major and a minor upgrade.

• A major version of Drupal core is represented by the number before the first decimal. For example Drupal 5.20, Drupal 6.16, and Drupal 7.1 are all different major releases.
• A minor version of Drupal core is represented by the decimal. For example, Drupal 6.1, 6.13, and 6.23 are all different minor releases. Minor releases fix security issues and newly discovered bugs but include no new features. This is an example of a minor release announcement.
