Hi @skeely1234, you can follow the Changelog, but basically you need to rebase your code on the ngx-admin master branch. Or, you can just pick the changes manually for corresponding commits:

@nnixaa Thank you. I will try it.

@nnixaa The rebase process iterates through & finds multiple conflicts at each commit. I've probably had 100+ commits on my personal repo since I initially pulled from ngx master - so it looks like this would take a very long time.

Do you have any other tips for doing the rebase on a heavily-customized ngx-admin project?

@luker2 did you find a solution?

@eeschiavo I know I finally got updated to the latest version, but it wasn't easy. Required me to carefully resolve a bunch of merge conflicts along the way.
