Hi Phil,

Note that Beth is talking about the database being done in a step wise manner. The source code can just be upgraded without going via the intermediates.

The upgrade should involve reading the release notes, running the database conversion scripts (https://source.sakaiproject.org/svn/reference/trunk/docs/conversion/), and bringing the instance completely up (since some releases have some run time updates that occur at boot time).
