The handling of historical versions has been improved and database requests at driver layer have been optimized.

OpenCms 7.5.4 is fully backward compatible to all prior 7 versions. It is recommended that OpenCms users update their installation to the 7.5.4 release. OpenCms 7.5 is largely backward compatible with version 6. An easy to use update wizard for OpenCms Version 6 and prior 7 installations for MySQL, Oracle and PostgreSQL is available.

General Features of OpenCms 7.5:
