Moving from 4.5 beta to 4.5 or 4.4.6

[dflorence]

Hi

I've got a site thats running Joomla 3.3.3  -  I've installed 4.5 beta because the  Civi 4.4  cron script has issues with Joomla 3.3 but its been patched in the upcoming Civi 4.5.

I just wondered  (a) If I could revert to 4.4.6 if necessary  and / or (b) when 4.5 is released, will a changeover from 4.5 beta to 4.5 stable be reasonably easy to achieve?

Upgrading is always way easier than downgrading.

(a) If I could revert to 4.4.6 if necessary

Nope. I wouldn't try it. There's no such thing as a downgrade script.

(b) when 4.5 is released, will a changeover from 4.5 beta to 4.5 stable be reasonably easy to achieve?

As easy as any upgrade. There's nothing different about the betas than any other release wrt upgrades. You'll be able to upgrade from 4.5.beta to 4.5.x in the normal way.
