The [[ChangeSummary|change summary]] also shows the database version number with each release. Some Rivendell releases include no database changes and are therefore &ldquo;easier&rdquo; to upgrade. In other words, upgrading Rivendell when there is no database version change is less intrusive; you can safely upgrade individual workstations one at a time (serially) without affecting other workstations. As always, if you&rsquo;re unsure about upgrading, &ldquo;seek professional help&rdquo;.

Evaluating Rivendell

If you are new to Rivendell, you might want to start here.

Users of Rivendell versions prior to 3.0 may want to read the list of notable differences between Rivendell versions 2 and 3.

Should I Upgrade?

You might be considering upgrading your Rivendell system. Many people live by the adage, “Don’t fix it if it ain’t broke.” On the other hand, there are sound and sensible reasons for upgrading your Rivendell installation: operating system security patches, bug fixes, performance enhancements, and improved functionality to name just a few reasons.

This change summary lists the notable changes between all released versions of Rivendell for the past few years. The list currently goes back to version 2.10.1 (released in 2014). The change summary also shows the database version number with each release. Some Rivendell releases include no database changes and are therefore “easier” to upgrade. In other words, upgrading Rivendell when there is no database version change is less intrusive; you can safely upgrade individual workstations one at a time (serially) without affecting other workstations. As always, if you’re unsure about upgrading, “seek professional help”.
