Upgrading Across Skipped Releases
---------------------------------
It is best to update your ownCloud installation with every new point release,
and to never skip any major releases. If you have skipped any major releases you
can bring your ownCloud current with these steps:
#. Add the repository of your current version
#. Upgrade your current version to the latest point release
#. Add the repo of the next major release
#. Upgrade your current version to the next major release
#. Run upgrade routine
#. Repeat from step 3 until you reach the last available major release
