Hi there!  
I need to upgrade a standalone version 3.43 to the current one (3.60).  
Is it possible to do it in one step or do I need to upgrade from version to version, step by step?  
I’ve noticed that in 3.48 ‘Content Replication’ was introduced. But since we don’t have this version installed right now, I don’t think I should have an issue with that. - Or am I wrong?  
Are there other possible traps I should avoid?

Best regards,  
Herbert

I’m not aware of anything that would prevent you from doing so. As a best practice you should backup your database and ideally blobstore before upgrading.
