I have project written in Laravel 4.2 that works fine, but I have to improve it by adding some functionality. I want to use Laravel 5.1 for this. Is there any way to automatically convert a Laravel 4.2 project into Laravel 5.1?
Sadly not, it's quite a big change so you'll have to follow their upgrade guide:

i wana degrade the laravel and vuejs version to older verions like 5.5, 5.6 and vue2. For laravel i have done some steps to convert lower version but it did't work,
I want to upgrade my application from 5.4 to 5.5, at first I was totaly fine with working 5.4 but now it seems like I can really make use of the new errors page. I've seen some other changes going on too and I wonder if I upgrade it from 5.4 to 5.5 and if something goes wrong, what options do I have. The project is saved in a private repository, I know I probably have a chance to go back to previous versions easly, but after doing development in 5.5, am I gonna be in a deadend for solutions?
I suppose you are using GIT for SVN. Then just create a separate branch from master and upgrade and test it for a few days and if everything works fine then pull on production. Also, maintain a 5.4 branch for few days if you want to revert back. But it's very rare you will face any problem on 5.5 if you migrate correctly with through testing.
I have a large project running on Laravel 4.2 and now I would like to upgrade it to the latest release (5.4)
On the upgrading guide I can see the steps to upgrade from each release to the next one, but the 4.2 to 5.0 requires a fresh install. Hence the question: should I install 5.4 (and fix problems) or 5.0 (running each upgrade)?
I'm possibily using any Laravel functionality, and have organized repositories for my own custom methods; I also need to maintain the database. I need to upgrade because I would like to use event bradcasting with Laravel Echo.
Thanks
To those looking for an answer: update directly to latest version, then fix changes along the way.
Explanation:
At first I tried to upgrade version by version; it was a pain. Every single vendor had different packages for each version and that caused issues even before correcting the code. I couldn't start fixing my code because the installation requirements of the vendors were failing at a certain point of the upgrade process.
Upgrading directly to latest version requires the correction of many things, but at least those are only related to your code. In my case I had to remove Sentry (authentication), Laravel OAuth, and some others I don't remember in favor of some native packages which I hope will be maintained properly. The upside of this approach is that once you have all the packages you need installed you can work directly on your code... which is what you have to do anyway.
I have a site built in Laravel 5.0 and would like to upgrade to Laravel 5.2
Do I have to first upgrade to 5.1 and then upgrade to 5.2 or is it possible to upgrade directly from 5.0 to 5.2
The only guides I can find at the moment don't seem to offer the option from 5.0 to 5.2 so I was wondering if there are too many changes to jump from 5.0 directly to 5.2.
Since the migrations between releases is a manual migration, you may follow the instruction for every single migration in chronological order and then run the composer update only once.
Nevertheless, I think the optimal approach is to migrate to the next version, verify everything works, and repeat until you get to the last release.
I have an app built using the legacy 2.x (2.1.4 to be exact) version of CodeIgniter. Now I want to upgrade. How would I do that?
Or is it even possible and easy?
Upgrade first from 2.1.4 to 2.2.0 by replacing all files in the "system" folder and then use the tutorial on the official codeigniter site.
I haven't tried this but it seems logical.
