Hi
I'm always wondering when I perform a upgrade from more than 1 older version, do I have to download every version and upgrade separately or I can just download the newest version and it will guide me through each upgrades?
Thanks.

You download the lasted version and it will run you through all the necessary upgrade steps.

I'm on 3.60. I had something like 35 reverts when we upgraded to 3.6. Will there be reverts when I go to 3.6.4? In other words, do I have to have my programmer available when I have vb do the upgrade, or shortly thereafter?

Upgrading will always overwrite any hacks or changes you made to the vB files. However upgrading will not overwrite any add-ons through Plugins, although it is possible that those plugins may need to be upgraded for the new version.

Also upgrading will not overwrite custom templates. Nonetheless you should seriously consider reverting any updated templates to get the full advantage of all bug fixes and improvements. You can redo your changes after reverting.
