As usual, thank you, Joe, for your recommendation. I will take note briefly for each release.

HI Alem,

The eXist-db documentation has a general guide on upgrading: https://exist-db.org/exist/apps/doc/upgrading.

It links to another article listing incompatibilities introduced with specific versions: https://exist-db.org/exist/apps/doc/incompatibilities.

I'd advise to read the release notes of at least every major version release between the two versions, and to take note of the procedures they outline for upgrading. You can find the release notes going back to eXist 1.2 linked from https://github.com/eXist-db/exist/releases.

Hi eXist users,

Here at the University of Richmond, we still use the old eXist version - eXist 2.1. Now we need to upgrade to the latest one - eXist 6.2.0; what would be your recommendation to upgrade from 2.1 to 6.2.0?

Thanks
