Much to the annoyance of my colleagues, I have been determined to make v1.7 a 'drop over the top' upgrade. The basic idea is that if you have EISNet v1.6, you can simply drop 1.7 over the top and it'll work. We've come close to aborting this idea several times, but I continue to insist this is the way to go.
Naturally, some changes we have made require some back-end modifications, but to keep with my promise of a 'drop over the top' upgrade we had to come up with a mechanism for subtle changes.
The answer is remarkably simple and was easy to implement.
Manager v1.7 how has an upgrade engine which will modify any previous version (from v1.6 onwards) and bring it up to the latest version. It's fully automatic too. It gives EIS more flexibility when it comes to upgrades.
Not only will it upgrade from the last version, but if you are, for example, upgrading from v1.6 to v1.9, the upgrades will all run in succession ensuring no upgrades are missed.
