BTW: missing a block is not as bad as producing two different blocks with the same delegate because you have two wallets open at the same time!!

You need to make sure only one instance has blocks production turned on.
When you are ready with the next version open it and wait for it to establish network connections and synchronize the blockchain (make sure block production is not enabled).
Then see that you have sufficient time until your slot and shutdown the old instance and enable block production in the new one.

You are saying I need to install at two machines? and when upgrading switch back and forth between the two?
no. Instance means client Instance. Not another machine.

I do it like this:

1. Open a new terminal
2. Git clone latest version to new folder bitsharesx_v0.x.x
3. git checkout 0.x.x + submodule init+update + cmake . + make bitshares_client
4. Once compilation is done, return to still running instance of the client and do "getinfo"
5. Pick a time when there's 10+ minutes till my next block production time, then:
6. Shut down old client, start new client
7. wallet_open + wallet_unlock
8. Do getinfo to verify block_production is enabled

Cool, thanks.

When I upgrade to new version of the client as a delegate, do I have to first turn off block production? when block production is turned off, then I don't miss blocks right?
