<BLOCKQUOTE type="cite"><PRE wrap="">- as stated during OpenCms days, OpenCms 8.0 will be a major release. Will
be easy to migrate from version 7.5?
</PRE></BLOCKQUOTE><PRE wrap=""><!---->
My experience: So far it was pretty easy to9migrate from one major release to the next one.
</PRE></BLOCKQUOTE>I agree. Especially if you stick to official APIs and
don't use much internal stuff or modify the code of the core classes, then
even major upgrades work rather well and without too much code
adjustment.<BR><BR><BR>I don't know how stable and complete the beta will be
and whether there will later be an upgrade assistant for updating it to the
final release. If there is any doubt about that and if you start developing
now, then I would recommend to start with 7.5 and upgrade to 8 as soon as it
becomes stable or as soon as there is something that has a prerelease that can
do automatic upgrades from 7.5<BR><BR>You might need to be prepared to touch
your Java code a bit for the upgrade but if any code changes are required then
they are usually quite painless and often done in a day or two.<BR><BR>This is
not an official answer but I hope that helps nonetheless<BR>Kind
regards<BR>Christian<BR>
