Upgrading - how to - step by step #2482

Hi.

I read "How to upgrade existing applications when a new version is available?" in FAQ. There is some main basic steps explained. Nothing more.

Is there some more details about upgrading in your docs, blobs or forums? Best practices, etc. How organize our code that upgrade should be easier ?

When i purchased Zero, i got vesion 3.05. Yesterday you published version 3.1 with many ng2 changes, Now i need to compare file by file.

Even everything will compile well, how i will know everything is made well ? I can make some security isues, because i missed some simple changes.

In future new upgrades will come. There Will be many many changes. Every upgrade can become nightmare.

Please advice.

Thanks for advance.

    Hi,

    Thanks for the suggestion. We thought about this before but couldn't be sure since this is not an official solution but it is the only solution for now at the same time :).

    Hi again.

    What about VS 2017 ? It's almost shiped.

    What plans do you have with ASP.NET ZERO template ? Will you have 2 templates ? One for 2015 in json format and one for 2017 in xproj format ?

    Hi,

    Currently we don't have a plan for this. We will consider it when VS 2017 is released.

    It is hard to maintain two different solutions, we will try to keep it single if it is possible.

    Hi.

    I hope you will find good solution for supporting both VS2015 and VS2017. VS2017 has a lot uf usefull features that we are waiting for:

    • better js, es6, typescript, ng2 support,
    • new .NET Core tooling,
    • etc.. So we are planning to upgrade to VS17 as soon as possible.

    When we upgrade to VS17 all suggestions witten in this post Will not be useful anymore.

    Maybe you should create survey and ask customers and other boilerplate users what plans they have. If most people are going to upgrade to vs17 you just .....

    There is another option: two separate projects.

    Please let us know when decision Will be made.

    Hi, i noticed that you have converted zero template to vs2017 and Will be shiped in next release - 3.3

    What that means ? Will you still supporting VS2015 or you move developement to VS2017 ?

    Can you give us date when version 3.3 Will be finished ?

    Regards.

    Hi,

    After v3.3 we will only support VS 2017 but you can use v3.2 or below versions in VS 2015 and we will support VS 2015 for that. Probably we will release it today.

    Thanks.
