Hi Everyone, Our current Galaxy instance is from August 30, 2011. This was our first deployment, and we have never upgraded. We are going to upgrade it, but I am trying to determine whether the best process would be to upgrade incrementally over the six dist releases since then, or to try and do it all in one shot, upgrading to the latest dist. Looking at the news briefs, I'm also considering upgrading in 3 steps, upgrade to before the major changes in the tool shed, then to the first release with major tool shed changes, and then finally to the latest release. I would appreciate any insights and advice on this process. Thank you, -Robert Robert M.
