    Hi.
    In the short time I have been looking at Unity there are been several new versions.
    However, each project started is tied to a specific version.
    This makes me wonder about when I start a full project.
    If I am developing a project I intend to release, should I be upgrading to the latest version of Unity each time it is released, and then upgrading my project to that version?

    You really only need to upgrade if there are specific features (or bug fixes) in the new release that you need. But I might recommend to only use the releases with the "f" in the name (final) and avoid the "a" and "b" releases (alpha/beta test releases)
