    Umbraco releases, branches, pull requests and upgrades

    I can't find more matching category for my topic so sorry if it is incorrect place for this.

    I have just been preparing information for upgrade my sites running old 4.7.1 version to lates v6 version - 6.2.5.

    I found and read helpful pages like this:

    https://our.umbraco.org/contribute/releases/625/

    https://our.umbraco.org/contribute/working-with-the-umbraco-source

    https://github.com/umbraco/Umbraco-CMS

    https://help.github.com/articles/syncing-a-fork/

    https://help.github.com/articles/configuring-a-remote-for-a-fork/

    https://robots.thoughtbot.com/keeping-a-github-fork-updated

    I'm using SourceTree for GIT repositories.

    I need to develop some changes in 6.2.5 and introduce MemCached. Then I can create some issues at http://issues.umbraco.org and pull requests.

    Unfortunately I have some questions:

    1. Is the 6.2.5 branch stable and equal to the 6.2.5 release or is still developed branch?
    2. I don't understand why branch master-v6 differs a lot from latest stable 6.2.5 release. It will be nice if master-v6 will be updated each time you release new stable v6 version. Would you like to explain it?
    3. I'm not sure from which master branch I should create branches for pull request? I can find branches like this: master, master-v6, master-v7.

    Thanks in advance for any helpul answers.

    Best! wtct

    Hi wtct

    I'm not sure I understand how you're preparing for the upgrade? Why are you bothering with dealing with the uncompiled source code? Is there any specific reason for this? Sounds like a way down the wrong path to me :)

    I'll recommend that you read the official documentation about upgrading here https://our.umbraco.org/Documentation/Installation/Upgrading/ - Make sure to read through both links.

    Also it matters if you're using any 3rd party packages that may not work in v6.2 for instance?

    Are you making use of the Umbraco API's doing any custom backoffice stuff etc. ?

    Also you might benefit from reading this blogpost about going from 4-7 - You can just stop following along untill it reaches v6.2.x :)

    Hope this helps!

    /Jan

    I have written in the first post:

    I need to develop some changes in 6.2.5 and introduce MemCached. Then I can create some issues at http://issues.umbraco.org and pull requests.

    So I need to know which branches develop.
