#Before you upgrade
- Commit your work, so the upgrade is one change you can review and undo.
- Read the guide for the next version, and its “At a glance” table.
- Upgrade one major version at a time, and finish each guide with
npx clay build --strict: when it passes, that step is done.
The changelog lists every change of every release, including the small ones that need no guide.
