I'm thinking of upgrading a large application from IG 2006.3 to 2007.3, and am wondering what pitfalls to expect. We are heavy users of WebGrids, WebMenus, WebDateChoosers and WebCurrencyEditors.
( IMO, there ought to be a forum reserved for this.)
Hmmm, ...

But I've talked my boss into letting us try the upgrade.
Hi Ed,
We upgraded the main Web sites from 2006.3 to 7.3 right around when 7.3 was released. As I recall, we didn't see any functional issues, just styling ones. Nothing major. There was an oddity because some open source script we were using modified the JavaScript array prototype, but we logged it and I believe that's been resolved.
Your mileage may vary; I'm just sharing my experience.
Regarding online listing of changes, it's in the help docs, under ASP.NET -> Developer's Guide -> What's New -> then look for known issues or breaking changes. For example:
Also, it should be safe to install versions side-by-side, so you can install 7.3 and review the samples and quickstarts and such w/ minimal impact.
Hope this helps.

And are these release notes available without downloading and/or installing 2007.3?
I tried searching for "release notes" and "breaking changes" using the search function on your home page. No luck there.
We introduced Application Styling in 2007.1, which required a few breaking changes. These are documented and in the release notes when you install 2007.3. The biggest problem to be on the lookout for was a purely visual thing. It was related to a fix that we made for one of the css styles on the grid. We adjusted the order it was rendered, making it inherit properly from it's parent. However, if your css classes were defined in a very particular way in the past, the styles might look odd upon upgrading. Just know that if you do run into this, it's a really simple fix. (re-order your css classes in your stylesheet).
