 Description   

with lts and non-lts branches, there are likely to be more users who will skip some (non-lts, likely) branches. when reading the upgrade notes in the manual, they might read only the lts, missing the intermediate non-lts upgrade notes.
for example, upgrading to 3.0 from 2.2, they will miss the 2.4 upgrade notes.

it is suggested to link to 2.4 notes in the 3.0 page https://www.zabbix.com/documentation/3.0/manual/installation/upgrade_notes_300 - a large note saying something like "if you are upgrading from 2.2, make sure to read [2.4 upgrade notes, too]" ( [ ] denoting a link)

(1) would be nice to mention this in documentation guidelines, too

martins-v For some reason I cannot log into zabbix.org lately using the usual forum name and password, so can't do this for now.

<richlv> note that .org never used forum credentials - if you don't recall your password there, use the "forgot password" functionality

martins-v Thanks, that helped indeed.

I added the following to the guidelines: "Links are placed in the upgrade notes to lead users who upgrade between Zabbix LTS versions only to read relevant documentation (like the upgrade notes) for non-LTS versions too."

RESOLVED.

<richlv> thanks, looks good to me, CLOSED
