4.4.0 is already out there, if we release 4.3.1 there is no way people can upgrade to 4.4.0 as the upgrade paths exist in the 4.4.0 release itself which does not know about 4.3.1 On 02-Sep-2014, at 5:48 pm, Will Stevens <wstev...@cloudops.com> wrote: > @Rohit > I think we are playing with fire here a bit.

Thats > my two cents anyway… Sorry to break you this, the issue I’m raising here has always existed before. Just that it was not widely shared and was silently fixed by developers. This is also the first time that we’re planning to release a minor version from previous major release. That is we already released 4.4.0 and now we’re going to release 4.3.1. Database upgrade paths from previous releases are only added in next releases. And, you may go look at the code to see that all minor upgrades do introduce some db changes and not just read emails. Sometime they don’t have to put an explicit schema-AtoB.sql and their cleanup files. In any case, due to the way we release ACS. People won’t be able to upgrade from 4.3.1 to 4.4.0 anyway.
