The release is definitely official - many sites have upgraded and usegalaxy.org has been running it since September - I'm not sure if there will release notes or not for the October release. We have not abandoned release notes - the next release will have release notes. I think there may be one database migration - so you may have to run migrate_db.sh update as always - but there were no tool migrations so this should be a relatively straight-forward update. Galaxy's default configuration file structure has changed dramatically - and this has affected some people that automate Galaxy deployments and assume sample files are in particular locations - but for long-running Galaxy instances all the files should already exist and Galaxy provides backward compatibility that attempts to look for them in the older locations - so no changes should be necessary.

I see that the tags release_2014.10.06 and latest_2014.10.06 were created some time ago, but there was never any announcement. Are these considered officially released? Should I upgrade my instance to this version? Most importantly, are there any release notes so I can see what, if anything, I need to do to prepare for this update? Thanks.
