You can also get the absolute latest cutting edge (and thus potentially untested and unstable) version of b2evo from the CVS server on SourceForge.
There is absolutely no guarantee about the state of the CVS version. Some days it will be the most stable version you could find, and some days it might just be broken and waiting for a fix...
This version is only recommended for contributing developers.
If this is your first install, we recommend the following release:
| Version | Changes | Date | Status | Download |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2.4.2 | "Palms" | 2008-04-27 | ![[Green]](../img/condition_green.gif){kind=small} Stable |

b2evolution can run on almost any webserver featuring PHP & MySQL.

Download a release by clicking on the link in the Download column below. Unzip the file and read the quick start instructions you will find in the file b2evolution/index.html .
The upgrade instructions are included in each release. You will find them in the file b2evolution/index.html .
Starting with version 1.8.2, any minor upgrade (3rd digit upgrade as in 1.8.1 to 1.8.2) will not require any database upgrade.
For example: upgrading from 1.9.0 to 1.9.2 only requires to replace the application files (attention: make sure to properly update your /conf files!). No database upgrade necessary. This means you can also downgrade back to 1.9.1 or 1.9.0 as easily. You could not downgrade to 1.8.x without restoring a database backup, though.
If you want to migrate from b2/cafelog or Movable Type, just follow the instructions in the latest release.
If you want to migrate from Geeklog or Manywhere Miniblog, first import into b2evolution 0.9.2, then upgrade to the latest version.
If you want to migrate from any other blog tool, we recommend you try to export the contents to the Movable Type export format and then use the MT importer in the latest release.
