Just so you now it. ezpublish 3 isn't stable or in final release yet, just a bad RC2. You most likely will have a lot of problems with it, like I have. Im now starting developing on the last stable version 2.x.

Hi,
as the system is so different, I doubt that therer will be a real upgrade script. I heard that there may be some kind of database conversion utility (in the future) but you will definitely have to convert the templates manually.

I now have alarm bells ringing! The main reason I managed to persuade my company that a CMS was superior to a static web site was that the data (articles) and presentation were seperate, and the data would be able to be used without having to be re-entered whenever the presentation/look/feel etc was altered. I have got people to spend several weeks of work contributing articles to version 2 of ezpublish. If I won't be able to move these articles to ezpublish 3 and future versions easily, then the project will end up scrapped and, at the very least, I will be unpopular! Please tell me I can get the articles into version 3 - I can live with re-doing the templates.

Thankyou - this is a big relief to me! I can now happily continue developing my site in ezp 2 knowing the effort isnt wasted :)
