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.
Candidly, I did this just to confirm it could be done. I would normally just download and flash the latest version of moOde to the same or a different uSD card. I take the /boot/moodecfg.ini approach to configure. I keep meaning to write a script to handle the mundane details such as host/service names and WiFi AP credentials for a new install. The evolving Backup/Restore function in moOde has gotten so good that it is the better alternative for existing installs but I'm old and set in my ways.

PS - Note that your browser caches files from the moOdeUI. It's best to close the browser window each time you reboot moOde after an update and then open a new one to ensure you're using the newest moOdeUI files. Otherwise you may run into odd behavior such as "502 Bad Gateway" errors.
PPS - If you're curious about the evolution of moOde or just have a need for a specific version, the binary iso images are available for versions going back to 4.3 and source code back to 4.0 through releases.
I attempted to do the same from the webui on 6.7.1. it comes back with
Code:
A new image-only release of moOde is available. Visit moodeaudio.org for more information.I read the release notes from 6.7.1 and 7.0.0 and didn't see anything about needing to do a fresh install. I did see the RaspiOS versions were different RaspiOS Buster Lite 10.6 was on 7.0.0 and RaspiOS Buster Lite 10.4 was on 6.7.1. I did see a discussion where the recommended way for RaspiOS upgrade was a new install? I'm likely going to do a new install on one of my moOde setups and keep the config file I used along with other scripts I use to configure a new install.
