In-place update from older versions

7.0.0 -> 7.0.1 -> 7.1.0 -> 7.2.0 -> 7.2.1 -> 7.3.0 -> 7.4.0 -> 7.4.1 -> 7.5.0 -> 7.6.0

Many of the update packages are small, a few large, so the cycle times vary. My Internet access is reasonably quick and I was working with an RPi4B so the total elapsed time was quite tolerable. I used the time to read a few tech news feeds and enjoy my coffee.

You inspired me! I am now running 7.6. It took less than 30 minutes and was painless. I am impressed at how smoothly each update completed without hiccups. All settings were preserved. Even my search based on custom categories in the comments field survived all the updates. I was not aware of this update feature –– my assumption was I'd have to flash a card and start anew –– but now that I am I'll stay up to date. Thanks for posting, and thanks to Tim and everyone who makes this sweet piece of software so good.
