VM 2.x upgrade path

[joshlfisher]

I have 2.0.2 installed. What is the correct sequence to upgrade to 2.0.12? Some of the intermediate versions have a letter based subversion, like 2.0.3A, 2.0.3B, 2.0.3C, etc.
Can I just go from 2.0.2 straight to 2.0.12?

Hello,

Yes, go straight to 2.0.12f. Also please if you are using template overrides you must update your templates also.

Take a look here: http://virtuemart.net/index.php?option=com_content&id=416
also you could download the com_virtuemart.xxxx_layout_changes.zip files from http://dev.virtuemart.net/projects/virtuemart/files to see bette the layout changes on each version.

Last you could compare the components/com_virtuemart/views/**/tmpl/ files for your old installation (vm2.0.2) with the the files on the same folder of version 2.0.12f to see the changes that have been applied.

First please backup your site, make a local installation (with xampp for example), upgrade vm, update and correct your template files, go live.
