Choosing the right version

[spfma...@e.mail.fr]

Hi,

We are currently running CAS 5.1.9 on an old hardware which needs to be replaced.

Is it a good thing to use the latest version available, maybe to be more “futureproof”, or should I install the same.

By the way, how can I know which version is the latest stable ?

Regards

Hi,

Yes its better to install latest stable version, you can find the latest releases here  https://github.com/apereo/cas/releases , as of now V6.1.6 would be good for you.

just avoid  -RC versions.

Thanks for your reply.

 

And what about backward compatibility ?

 

Of course there is a link between OS distributions, Java versions, CAS and building tools and if I can avoid using totally out of phase Java versions, I would be more than happy !

 

But is it safe to replace an old CAS version by a more recent one (after having modified the new templates and configuration files of course) ?

There have been a number of config changes between versions 5 and 6. You will have to account for those in your upgrade.

Since this software is a gatekeeper to your applications, it is wise to run the most recent version.

Thanks. I am asking that mostly because we have some critical corporate apps which are not really maintened but still in use, and want to be able to shoot first if the pseudo-supports tells me “of course you have database corruption, you are not following the requirements”. As the requirements have never been updated, better ask first !
