Question

Hello. I'm currently running the Beijing release (01Feb2003) and I want to upgrade to the latest release (4.2.3).

I'm wondering which would be the best course of action given that this is a very far spread in revisions:

A) Do a fresh install and migrate my old data from the old version, or

B) Incrementally upgrade to each major revision following my current one, finally ending up with the latest revision.

Thanks in advance.
