▲*If your update is skipping then check the corresponding release announcements or Wiki entries for every version since the one you have been using before planning your upgrade.

Many people believe if it works, it don't need fixing. So they install whatever MX version is available when they start using MX and ignore all the bug fixing and new functionality being added, and stick with their existing installation.
Suddenly they realise that perhaps their version does lack functionality that would be useful to them. Maybe their version does not have an editor for correcting rogue extreme records and they realise correcting log files is something that is hard for them to do.
This section is therefore included to give advice on why you should not jump from an old version to the latest directly, but how it can be safely done in stages.
