Great, thanks. That's what we've been doing with 1.4->1.5, on a test
server. We'll go ahead with that, then move to 1.6.

Thank you for the heads up on the release Brion.
We're about to do a
1.4.12 to 1.5.8 upgrade, so it's nice to be aware of this imminent
release.
Could you possibly give a rough idea of the issues (if any) we might
run
into going from a 1.5.8 to 1.6.0 upgrade? This might
influence our
decision to delay our 1.5.8 upgrade and go direct to 1.6.0. The
current
Upgrading help page only addresses 1.5.x and below.
Moving from 1.5 to 1.6 should be pretty smooth; the database changes are
relatively minor.
1.4 to 1.5 is a big change, so test that offline first if you're able.
