Upgrade from old version

Existing site is at cmsms version 1.1 - Could anyone point me in the right direction to upgrade to the latest version of cmsms from v1.1.
Within a few weeks the hosting provider for the site will be upgrading the mysql version from 4.x to 5.x. Don't know how cmsms will deal with this but I would like to upgrade anyway. Any help, tips would be appreciated.

Best way is likely step by step
perhaps like
--->1.2.5--->1.3.1--->1.4.1--->1.5.4--->latest
skipping versions might be possible but more risky, and all that after following the usual procedure of backing up, etc. Verify the state of your site after each step. Read all the documentation as well
http://wiki.cmsmadesimple.org/index.php ... /Upgrading and other pages
And regarding php 5, as of right now 5.3.0 is not supported, 5.2.10 is the latest before that.

My advice is to backup data, test install on subfolder/xampp, and go straight to the newest version. see my signature or other posts.
