Please be aware that:

When you're using Umbraco on a server with a different timezone then your local timezone, the new info tab has some problems using the date pickers. A workaround in the form of 2 javascript files is available:
http://issues.umbraco.org/issue/U4-10937

When you upgrade Umbraco using NuGet, the UI.xml file doesn't get updated correctly, a workaround is available:
http://issues.umbraco.org/issue/U4-10939

These two issues do not occur on any Cloud sites. A fix for these issues will be rolled out in version 7.8.1 shortly.

Important: we've added two keys in the web.config, your previously cropped images will no look be cropped if you don't add them, so don't forget:

In the httpModules section add:

<add name="ImageProcessorModule" type="ImageProcessor.Web.HttpModules.ImageProcessingModule, ImageProcessor.Web"/>

And in system.webServer/modules add:

<add name="ImageProcessorModule" type="ImageProcessor.Web.HttpModules.ImageProcessingModule, ImageProcessor.Web"/>

Upgrading note

Google Chrome has notoriously aggressive caching, so if something doesn't seem to work well in the backoffice, make sure to clear cache and cookies thoroughly (for other browsers as well).

One way to nudge the cache in Chrome is to open the developer tools (F12) and go to the settings (the cog icon). There will be a checkbox that says "Disable cache (while DevTools is open)". Once this checkbox is on you can refresh the page and the cache should be invalidated. To force it even more, the "reload" button next to your address bar now has extra options when you right-click it. It should have "Normal reload", "Hard reload" and "Empty cache and hard reload" now. The last option is the most thorough and you might want to try that.

We're working on making this experience better and seamless, but for now make sure to follow these steps for v7 upgrades.

Upgrading from 7.0.3/7.0.4

Upgrading from version 7.0.0

Follow the general upgrade guide AND the version specific upgrade guide.

To upgrade from 7.0.0 to 7.0.4 you will need to perform these tasks manually, the rest is handled by the installer:

Remove all uGoLive dlls from /bin
These are not compatible with V7
Move appSettings/connectionStrings back to web.config
If you are on 7.0.0 you should migrate these settings into the web.config instead of having them in seperate files in /config/
So the keys in config/AppSettings.config need to be moved back to the web.config <appSettings> section and similarly, the config/ConnectionStrings.config holds the Umbraco database connections in v7.0.0 and they should be moved back to the web.config <connectionStrings> section.
/config/AppSettings.config and /config/ConnectionString.config can be removed (make backups, just in case) after the contents have been moved back to web.config.
Delete all files in ~/App_Data/TEMP/Razor/*
Related to issues with razor macros
Replace all files in the /install folder

Upgrading note

Google Chrome has notoriously aggressive caching, so if something doesn't seem to work well in the backoffice, make sure to clear cache and cookies thoroughly (for other browsers as well).

The important other thing you'll need to do is go into config/ClientDependency.config and update the version number in there. So if it currently says version="2" then just make it one higher: version="3".
This will ensure that any server-side cache of javascript and stylesheets gets cleared as well.

If you are on 7.0.0 you should migrate these settings into the web.config instead of having them in seperate files in /config/
So the keys in config/AppSettings.config need to be moved back to the web.config <appSettings> section and similarly, the config/ConnectionStrings.config holds the Umbraco database connections in v7.0.0 and they should be moved back to the web.config <connectionStrings> section.
/config/AppSettings.config and /config/ConnectionString.config can be removed (make backups, just in case) after the contents have been moved back to web.config.

Upgrading from Version 6

This is a major version, there are therefore several things you must be aware of before attempting to upgrade a site.

Read these guidelines for upgrading to version 7

Upgrading from older versions?

The version-specific upgrade guide be followed in conjunction with the general guide mentioned above

Whats new

A brand new design of the entire application
All new client-side layer, built on AngularJS and Twitter Bootstrap
New Content, Media, Member and datatype editors
Search driven navigation
Better media handling and upload support
List-views for big content collections
Everything is faster

Besides the main points above, we've been tweaking every possible part of the application CSS, js and images, making this the fastest version ever.

Documentation for developers

With the shift towards AngularJS and with an entirely new way to build editors, property editors (the artists formerly known as datatypes and datatype editors) and to extend the UI, we have a (temporary) home for Umbraco 7 documentation

NOTE: However, please note that all serverside APIs are the same as in Version 6.x - in case we had to make any changes to them in v7, these have also been made to v6.2.0.

Breaking changes

There are several breaking changes, consult the Umbraco 7 upgrade documentation for further infomation

Old property editors do not work anymore
Old macro parameter editors do not work anymore
Legacy API events have been disabled
Legacy tree events have been disabled
All configuration files have changed and must be migrated
All code marked as obsolete since Version 4 has been removed
There is no ImageCropper Property editor
The Related Links property editor uses a new data format for xslt

To fix this error, add the following to your web.config (in the runtime/assemblyBinding section):

A note on config file changes:

If you're using MySQL, make sure to update your web.config, the MySQL Data Provider (in DbProviderFactories) has changed from version 6.6.4.0 to 6.6.5.0
In umbracoSettings.config in the content section there's a new key "defaultDocumentTypeProperty" which is not required. If you don't copy it in, the default is Textstring

There are no other config changes between 6.1.2 and 6.1.3 but if you're upgrading from a different version make sure to do a merge (use WinMerge for example) of all of the config files, especially the web.config

Notes for version 4.11.10

Umbraco 4.11.10 is the last version of Umbraco 4. If necessary we'll release security updates for it but there will be no new active development on Umbraco 4.

4.11.9 would not work on IIS6 or Visual Studio's built-in development server ("Casini"). This manifested in the RTE not working and other javascript errors. This is now fixed.

There was also a problem with some packages that interefered badly with eachother which was causing some problems that are now solved.
