Upgrade from 0.9.1 to current version. Any big issues?
What is the process to upgrade from 0.9.1 to the current version. I have a very active site and don't want to risk downtime or, worse still, losing all of my current posts.
(Obviously I would take a backup of database and files beforehand, but forewarned is forearmed.)
Thanks!

Martin B,
normally there's no problem to update directly to current version from 0.9.1. I will give you some more feedback in about twelve hours (I'm at work now).
There are some bigger changes in 1.0.0 RCx. Therefore, please have a look at Joo!CM update information and Joo!BB update information.

Martin B,
I were able to update from 0.9.1 to 1.0.0 RC4 without any problems. Hope it works for you, too. Anyway I would advise you to make a backup. Especialy database.
If there should be a problem, do not hesitate to post it here.
Good luck.

Can I just clarify the procedure you went through. Was it a case of ftp'ing files over the original, or using the Joomla component install? Just want to make sure we are talking about the same method!
Thanks!

Sorry for the late answer! 
I tested it by using the Joomla installer by selecting the zip files. There can be some problems by installing it this way. For example when the provider is a little bit slow and the the skript gets a timeout. FTP'ing the zip files to JOOMLA_ROOT/tmp and start the installer from there can help. Also ftp'ing the extracted files to /tmp and install from directory should work.
The way you make the update doesn't matter. But it is strongly recommended to use the Joomla installer! There are some database updates running within the installer. Updating by ftp'ing the files over the current installation will crash the board until you made the db update by yourself (e.g. phpmyadmin). Further, some no more needed files will be also deleted. Updating with the Joomla installer will keep your installed version up to date all the time.

Hey there!
Just a quick question: -should the update to 1.0.X solve my old JOOBB 0.9.2 Problem With Links?
I must clear that the source for these error was probably my own fault, but I would be happy to know your thoughts before to try the update.
Of course I'm doing my backup first.
All the best,
Diego
