To upgrade, you need to modify all the daemons on all the machines at the same
time, and you need to upgrade your database. There are still a few remaining
problems that exist in version 1.37, that I am working on but cannot assure
fixing before the first week in October.
Given all the problems you are currently having, and that you are running in
production, I would probably recommend you remain on the current version a
bit longer unless you find the current setup unbearable.
By the way, the CVS is version 1.37, though I have made a few specific
releases to Source Forge the latest being 1.37.38. At the moment, the CVS is
in bug fix mode only (no development).
