hi guys

i have a gallery which has substantial amount of my own hacks, just to clean things up to how i want it etc. Im prepared, and have always "rehacked" my own gallery each time an upgrade comes out.

Can someone please tell me if ;

1) i can upgrade from pl2 direct to the latest pl6 ? (note : upgrade, not fresh install.)

2) Which files have been patched from pl2 to pl6. I find often its just one of the php files and therefore can minimise the work I need to do to rehack.

3) What security risks are there in pl2. gallery specific, or host OS specific. (this changes how i address other gallery's hosted.)

if the risk is not high or global, i may wait till 1.5 official release.

Thanks guys !!

1. Yes

2. We have no such list.

3. Read the News items related to each release for the details.

The best way of going from one customized version to the newer version is with diff. Make a patch that is a clean version of yours -> latest clean version, then apply that patch to your gallery. Chances are very good it will apply cleanly.
