🚧 READ THIS FIRST 🚧
Coral 6.0.0 introduces new features to assist with large communities using Coral, and will require a migration. To migrate from any 5.x release, ensure you first upgrade to 5.5.1 and allow all migrations to run. You cannot upgrade directly from any version below 5.5.1 to 6.0.0.
If you are using Coral/Talk 4.x or below, we are working on an open source migration path from 4x to the latest version, which will be published later this year. Please refer to our docs for more details.
