[mapguide-users] MapGuide Open Source 2.5.2 released

[Andrew DeMerchant]

Just a thought here...there have been some surveys and questions asked 
before about what versions we're all running, and why we're not on the 
latest (some are on some pretty old builds). For me, one major reason 
I'm never on the latest isn't to do with stability, but rather the 
installer.

I'd love to always be bleed edge, but the installer has always made that 
life difficult because of the lack of upgrades. When I'd heard that MGOS 
would start having some minor releases, I was excited because I thought 
that those would be upgrades...finally fixing the installer problem that 
had stopped me from migrating.

So, when I excitedly checked the release notes for this release, I saw 
that you actually can't actually upgrade from 2.5...so you now have to 
uninstall and reinstall for every minor release. Is there any plan to 
make the installer handle upgrades? Maybe this isn't a concern for most 
- but to me, if you want user adoption, being able to do upgrades is a 
path that needs to be gone down. Just my 2 cents, anyway!
