Do I need to have the latest version of EE2 installed before upgrading to EE3? Thank you!

No where in the install instructions does it say you must be running the latest version of 2.x before upgrading to v3. https://docs.expressionengine.com/latest/installation/upgrade_from_2.x.html

From EE officially: For the best upgrade results we do recommend having at least 2.10.1 installed before moving to version 3.

In my opinion (and past experience), the more incremental you can keep things the better.

That said, EE 3’s installer/updater is very much more robust and trouble free than EE 2’s. EE 2 made great strides in the later days (EE 2.7 plus updates were usually smooth sailing), but I have yet to encounter a failure of the EE 3 installer to do what it is supposed to do.

But why tempt fate? I would update EE 2 to the latest before the major update to EE 3.

Thanks for the reply. I’ve updated to the latest EE2 and am now waiting for the next release of EE3 before I upgrade.
