NOAH V3.1.1 - Risk Assessment

The good news is that V3.1.1 is the most extensively tested NOAH release to-date.

That said, you should be aware that V3.1.1 is a major change in database structure and code and this may result in some new bugs surfacing as more people start using it.

Reasons to upgrade to V3.1.1:

you require better and faster 'search' capability.
you are looking for an improved user interface for 'move' command.
you like the improvements to 'bookmarking' of directories and other new features.
you anticipate a large influx of new files and dirs and want to be ready with a better database structure.
you have a WasteBasket that is out of control and you like the new WasteBasket organization and purge commands.
your 'admin' directory is filling up with bogus sendmail.tab backups and you want the new 'esend' fix.
you are using NOAH for the first time and don't want to have to 'convert' your database later.
you want to be on a better supported platform going forward.

Reasons to DELAY your V3.1.1 upgrade:

your users are in the midst of a major release and you don't want to 'rock the boat' with a new NOAH release.
you don't use the 'search' options and you have a small database (less than 1000 documents) and would rather wait for others to turn up any new bugs.
you are too busy at this time to carefully backup, convert and validate your database with V3.1.1.

NOTE: If you decide to DELAY your upgrade, be aware that bug fixes and new features will be only added to V3.1.1.
