Good morning everyone,
Love the new site!
My department is trying to build a justification for (finally!) upgrading from 8.x to 9.x. This is a government agency, so we would need to upgrade to the most stable version, not necessarily the most recent.
And we're using Evoq Content rather than Platform. (Sorry to invade the Platform forums, but there just aren't any other forums for the paid version)
What do you think the most stable version is right now?
I am looking up the documentation for 9 online, but I thought it would be useful to see what your personal experiences have been. For those who migrated from 8.x to 9.x back in the day, what are the main improvements you've seen? Particularly something that might sound awesome to upper management? :)
Thanks in advance!
Heather
Thanks, Joe, that is very helpful. I will keep an ear out for that release.
In the meantime, I'm looking into either 9.1.1, 9.2.2 or 9.3.1 (Evoq 9.3.0) to see what might cause the least amount of upgrade pain and the most stability.
That sounds like a good road map, thanks.
Hopefully we can get this upgrade request approved as I'm eager to get going!
Thanks again for taking the time to steer me in the right direction,

Just in case it helps you with your team internally, here's a DNN upgrade article we wrote not long ago.
Thank you Mitchell!
Yes, security is one of the biggest selling points. I added your number estimate of security bulletins to our justification document.
All our documentation has been turned in. Hoping for approval when everyone returns from holiday/vacation next week.

Thanks Will, that is really helpful, especially about the timing of when to update/delete extensions versus when to upgrade the DNN version.
I'm going to share that with our team.
Hopefully this time next week we'll know whether our upgrade request has been approved.
Thanks again,
It's my pleasure, Heather. I just realized that I forgot to also post my slide deck about upgrading DNN from DNN Summit Denver 2019. :)
