</div>The questions to ask are:<br>
<br>
Does the upgrade require intervention? ie, if someone did the upgrade<br>
would they have to manually change config files, or migrate databases<br>
or whatever?<br></blockquote><div><br></div><div>No, the 2.3 version just adds some features and there wouldn't be any needed changes to config files or databases to support the update.<br></div><div> </div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex">
Next, is the package a gui one that changes look and feel? ie, would<br>
some user who updated suddenly have to relearn where the various<br>
options are?<br></blockquote><div><br></div><div>There's no GUI or user facing part of it, so it would be effect developers but not users.<br></div><div> </div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex">
Finally, does it change abi/api any? If it was updated would people<br>
have to rebuild other things to work with it?<br></blockquote><div><br></div><div>There were additions to the API to support the new features and I'm guessing that there may be ABI changes as well. Basically, I'm guessing that a rebuild would be necessary.<br>
