syncdb was deprecated in 1.7, with release of the django migrations. So basically the only difference may be using another command for the same thing. If there are no deprecation warnings using the app with 1.8 it should be no problem to upgrade to 1.9. The main difference between 1.8 and 1.9 in my opinion is support. 1.8 is LTS and will be supported longer than 1.9, we still build all new applications for our customers with 1.8 at work because of the longer support. Most of the features of 1.9 are possible to install as python package, like the new admin theme and PermissionMixins/django-braces Upgrading a minor version is mostly easy and a good thing to learn ;) -- Florian -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Django users" group.
