ACS Commons Upgrade

[SachithaKo2]

We are using AEM as a cloud service version 6.5.19.0 and ACS AEM Commons version 5.0.2. We are facing issues with the Dispatcher flush feature and the MD5 hash that is getting added to the client libraries after deploying JS or CSS changes. To fix both issues, we are planning to upgrade the ACS Commons version to 6.10.0. Can anyone help me with the best considerations to avoid any potential issues? Also, if you have faced any issues post-upgrade, please share your experience.

To reduce the impact while upgrading, do the following : 

1. List down the ACS Commons features which are used in your project.
2. Make sure the cloud package of ACS Commons is used.
3. Take a backup of environment before installing, so that it can be restored in case of any major issues.
4. Validate the features in lower environments (dev), once tested, upgrade in higher environments (stage, prod).
5. If features are deprecated or not working, you might have to consider another custom solution.

I have faced problem with versioned clientlibs. I think there is a OOTB feature from AEM which can be used for versioning - https://experienceleague.adobe.com/en/docs/experience-manager-cloud-service/content/implementing/con...
