I have to update an 6.2 installation with ext:tt_news to 7.6 with ext:news. what is the best way to do the news conversion at the moment?
should I start converting the news records in 6.2 and then update to 7.6 (drawback: ext:news runs only until version 3.2.8 with TYPO3 6.2)?
or first update to 7.6 and then convert to news?
I have found ext:news_ttnewsimporter. the last version is from october 2016. is it compatible to the latest version of ext:news ?
I would upgrade the current installation to 7 LTS. There you can use the newest EXT:news version and you need one step less for migrating.
For importing there is a migrate tool in EXT:news to migrate all tt_news tables and plugins.
