Problems upgrading to emoncms 7.0

Hi,

I am pretty confused about the versions of emoncms out there. I am looking to upgrade my version since there seems to be a couple minor things that have been fixed. For example on the input page, I don't get a last value for my feed, so it's difficult to tell what input it is from a new sensor. 

Anyway, do I need Redis installed? Is it possible to go on with emoncms without redis? For starters, my server is a Centos based cPanel server that won't run apt-get so installing redis seems to be dicey. 

Any advise? I am also pretty confused as to where the latest version of 6.0 code is verses the 7.0 code. Do the modules only work with 7.0?

I would love an noob feature to do an easy upgrade to an latest stable version. Not that I mind tinkering stuff, but I'd rather keep emoncms running, without breaking stuff. Since upgrade info is scattered all over the place, and sometimes out of date, and script that does this for us would be awesome!

I am having real issues as well

Paul has been very helpful in trying to track these down http://openenergymonitor.org/emon/node/3531

I think I am going to sit on this for a while and have a think.  As I am planning to swap from an SD card install to SD card/HDD it might be less painful to set this up and then just to import my feeds and settings from emonCMS.org

Mark, the current Git 'master' is v7, but you can always obtain a  previous version via Git.

Obtain the hash key of a version dating back to say Dec 15th (from https://github.com/emoncms/emoncms/commits/master ) which was v6 and run;

$ git checkout thehashkeyfromabove

..and do the same with the modules.

Thanks Paul. It does seem installing emoncms is becoming more difficult. 

Anyone any advice for installing redis on a Centos server?
