    guide to user-visible changes for the 6.0 upgrade I can share with my users?


    TL;DR: I'm wondering if anyone that's been through the 5.x to 6.x upgrade has a brief overview document that they wrote for their users, about the most visible changes that users will notice after Zabbix has been upgraded to 6.x, and if you would be willing to share what you wrote so I don't have to reinvent the wheel. Things like the change to trigger functions, web interface sections being moved or collapsed into other areas, etc.

    We're currently on 5.0.x LTS and I plan to upgrade my site to 6.0.x LTS later this fall.

    We've been using Zabbix for 10+ years so I've done several X.0 -> Y.0 upgrades and I'm comfortable I'm prepared for this one.

    My users don't watch the forums or the Zabbix blog, so they are not as prepared for the user-visible changes. The changes between 5.0 and 6.0 (including stuff that changed at 5.2 and 5.4) are probably more significant than any of the changes they've experienced so far with Zabbix.

    I could point them at the blog and I could write my own summary, but if someone else has already done that for their site and is willing to share, it would be greatly appreciated!

    Thanks,

    Tim

    As you probably know all changes are described in the documentation.
    (https://www.zabbix.com/documentation...on/whatsnew600)
    But since they appear when you switch to each new version, they are published when a new version appears.
    If you need a description of the changes during the transition from version 5.0 to 6.4.3, then you will have to combine all the descriptions yourself.

      Thanks Hamardaban, I appreciate your response.

      I do know about the whatsnew link, and it's great information for a Zabbix site administrator like myself. I'm thankful the Zabbix developers and documentation team provides that level of information.

      It's not what I'm looking for for my users, though. There's lots of stuff in there (and in whatsnew520 and whatsnew540) that will be of no importance to my users. I'm really looking for only high-level info on changes that are very user-visible.

      I was hoping someone else had already compiled something like that for their users and could share it. I may eventually have to try compile that information myself.
