I see that there's an [interactive ES guide](https://www.elastic.co/products/upgrade_guide) for upgrading ES. However, it is only for version 6.3. Is there a similar ES interactive guide for upgrading to 6.7.1 from 6.1.2

Products used - ES, Kibana, Logstash

One more question:

How do I know all the breaking changes if I upgrade directly from 6.1.2 to 6.7.1 ? I just want a compilation of all breaking changes rather than comparing each consecutive pair of releases like 6.1.2 vs 6.2, 6.2 vs 6.3 ........ 6.6 vs 6.7.1etc

Note: I am using high level java rest client

That should be pretty much similar. The "big step" was from 6.x to 6.3.

</div>

So, to upgrade from 6.1.2 to 6.7.1, we should move from 6.1.2 to 6.3 first and then 6.3 to 6.7.1? Can't it be done directly from 6.1.12 to 6.7.1?

It should be ok to go directly to 6.7.1.

Thanks for the reply. Can you please answer my second question as well. It is regarding viewing all the breaking changes at once.

I don't know if that list exists. You should probably need to look at every minor version breaking changes doc like 6.2, 6.3, ...
