I would appreciate a little help.
Last year I upgraded from v3.4.6 to v3.5.1 to v3.9.4 using the excellent wiki here: https://cumuluswiki.org/a/Updating_MX_t ... or_version
I had some station issues last year resulting in me buying a new (Fine Offset) station and I'm setting it up this week. I want to update my Cumulus version to a recent release, however, the wiki has not had any recent updates with good advice.
Is it ok for me to update from my current v3.9.4 to latest v3.13.3 in one step, or do I need to do it in stages.
Cheers for any help.

Re: Updating to latest Cumulus version
You should be OK doing it in one step.
I recommend you create a new folder for the new install, copy the entire contents of teh zip file, then *copy* over the /data and /Reports folders from your current install. That way you can easily go back if things do not work.
Upgrading from that old a version you may find a couple of settings reset to defaults. So after starting up the new version for the first time please check all the settings carefully, particularly the internet settings.
