3.4 to 4.0
We currently run IPS 3.4, and 4.0 was released back in April.
Upgrade Will Be Longer Than Usual
This is a major change, so downtime will be much longer than usual, as I want to download a backup of the servers in case things go horribly wrong. There are no good estimates for how long this will take, but I expect at least a few hours (and possibly a whole day) will be needed.
I plan on starting this late Saturday night if I'm free by then. If not, then Sunday.
Why Upgrade?
The key feature that interests us is front page should be more configurable. The forums should also see slight improvements as well.
Why Didn't You Upgrade Sooner?
This is a major upgrade. Typically this means major parts of the software has been rewritten and as such, certain features may unexpectedly go missing. I was hesitant to upgrade due to this, but seeing as we're trying to make the Front Page actually useful now, and 4.0 promises more options to do so, I've finally decided to bite the bullet.
