That’s how i do it as well. Here’s my problem…they start with the whole one, lets say 2.8; so I wait that month and sure enough 2.8.1 arrives – now I need to wait again and again lol…too anal? perhaps.

I asked the cpanel people a while back why they wait so long, “we make sure it is as stable as possible before release”, was the official response.

I liked that. I can just assume no one there liked any version of 2.8. thus far. LOL

Dennis, I was like you in sticking with 2.8.1 and not wanting to update, until I started reading how many people were suddenly having their blogs hacked. That’s all it took for me, because I”d rather not deal with it. I will still skip an upgrade, though, for at least a month to see if another one is coming.

I started blogging with 2.0.4. Since then, I have upgraded exactly ONE 10th…the one time I believed it was life or death and it was a real simple upgrade; they actually gave out the 2 security fix files so you didn’t have to fully upgrade. I think it was 2.6.4.

I just don’t do it normally.

Hi Mitch – I guess they would need to do 2.8.9.1 or something like that ;-)

I hope there are less patches on the next version too. Apparently it’s in Beta and is being tested so it probably won’t be too long until it’s released.

Heck, if they keep adding the 10ths once a week like it seems they’re doing they’ll run out of numbers before they get to 2.9. This last version has been ridiculous with the updates; I hope the next version is safer as well.

Hi Barbara – Most of the time an auto-upgrade works fine but other times something goes wrong. When 2.8 first came out a lot of people ran into issues. Personally, I always upgrade manually.

As long as everything is backed up prior to a manual or auto upgrade any issues that might arise can be resolved.
