Sorry if this is in the wrong section, but got confused as to which section would be best... so many to choose from lol

I recently downloaded and installed the following package; rwsRavenNuke76_v2.02.02_FULL as a demo site, but now I see you have other versions, (according to your downloads). But according to the downloads, you have RavenNuke[tm] Version 2.10.00 Released, but you have 4 versions with same version number. This is confusing !! Which is your most recent version, and what differences is there between them and 2.02.02_FULL ??

Any difference between versions you might have can be read in the files that go with it...
To understand the packages you can read this : http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_archive_formats

And the changelog of ravennuke is included in the distro but im happy to post is here just for you :

Thats not what I meant lol. I meant content wise, as all four variations vary greatly in size.

Thanks, so I guess the main difference between 2.10.00 & 2.02.02_FULL is that theres been 10,000 Notices, Warnings, Errors, etc. fixed plus loads of added extras. I guess I had better remove the 7.6 2.02.02 version and change to 2.10.00

For what it's worth, there is a clear upgrade path from 2.02 full to RN2.10. You don't have to go thru a full install if you have 2.02. If you don't have any data you might as well, but if you do you can run the upgrade. There are instructions right in the package for upgrading.

Ok cool. I haven't yet checked it, but I will do. Thanks for the heads up.

Thinking about it, I may as well do the upgrade, it'll give me the practise. Out of curiosity, as RN is based on Nuke 7.6, I'm guessing that it can also be converted to either Platinum or Evolution, (if required)?

Up to you what you decide / want to do. I will not try and dissuade you otherwise. The core of RN is 7.6, yes, so at least at the core, it should be close. However, you will have to use a tool such as mySQLDiff to understand the full breadth of differences and to do your own manual manipulation of the table structures in order to get them to match before you try and export/import the data.

I was only wondering, as regards to the platinum and evo conversions, as I am opening a site that will offer services that will include cms installation, upgrades and conversions.
