Difference between version 3 and version 4

A notable change is the member selector, see https://www.drupal.org/project/private_message/releases/4.0.0-alpha1 →

There's no need for upgrade path but the change of member selector might need some work, such as using a module like https://www.drupal.org/project/tagify → to get nice autoselect & chips

Ok thanks for the answer. Currently version 3.0.6 is installed on my website. Can I update to version 4.0.0-alpha2 without breaking the website, with :

composer require 'drupal/private_message:^4.0@alpha'

drush updb

drush cr

Sorry to open the question but I don't have an answer to my comment #3

I saw no question mark in #3 so I assumed it’a affirmative statement.

Yes, try that but make sure you understand the changes made to user selector and potential needed work

Part of the confusion might be 🐛 3.0.6 was released from the 4.0.x branch Active .

Wow, @eelkeblok, thank you for catching that. It was a terrible mistake on my side. Created 3.0.7, this time out of 3.0.x

@zenimagine To answer your question, I'd say it should be fine to update to 4.0, since you inadvertently were on 4 already, having installed 3.0.6. Can you set this issue to "Fixed" if your questions are answered?

@claudiu.cristea Yeah, I'm a big fan of visual Git clients, basically for reasons such as this. It becomes trivially obvious when you are always confronted with the commit graph, whereas this is a very easy mistake to make when just coming at it from the command line (not saying it is impossible to happen, of course, one can "miss-click" as well 😊).

Waiting for input.
