We upgraded this weekend and all went well.

Now starting to find little things...that we did not catch in testing.
Here's the latest
When working in the Text Editor in MRE for HTML only - If you make a Change and hit the Save Button...and exit out of the HTML it does not save the changes. If you simply X out of it and say YES when it asks to save...it does save it. We are opening a case.....

We're also just starting to get into 7.6.1. Found that the 'Upload Data File' function when trying to create a MFD doesn't work - been told it's been fixed in 7.6.2.

My gut feeling is that 7.6.2 will fix a lot of issues.

I was advised by people "in the know" (and I'm not mentioning names) that we should NOT move to 7.6 until at least the second release for this exact reason. Many (emphasis on many) bugs have been fixed in the next release meaning that they exist in in the 7.6.1 version. Unless there is a compelling reason, wait a little longer.


Regards,

Darin

Definitely good advice.

Most of our stuff that we've tested seems OK but we're really not using the GUI stuff too much.

7.6.2 should be out very soon (within a week or so???).

Looks like 7.6.2 is available for download.

Let us know how it goes, i'm sure a lot of us would like to get your feedback before we embark down the same path.

I never like anything that is .0 or .1 version...but we had a SAP upgrade happening that was not going to compatible with something in WebFocus...so we had to upgrade quick. I too would go for 7.6.2
