Nick, can I uprade from 1.0.1 to 1.0.3 directly?
I've tried but a blank page remain, after I run the upgrade script...

[Nick]

You should be able to, but see the instructions for the last upgrade first. I don't know what could be causing the blank page. If it happened after the upgrade is finished, maybe it's logged in /cache/debug_logs/error_log.txt

[carlo75]

No isn't possible, upgrade tell me that will perform an unpgrade from 1.0.1 to 1.0.3 I click next,
but I receive a blank page, after. I try to restore the 952 revision, else I'll do a fresh installation.

Ah! I've found a bug in the upgrade script:

Line 239:

Change

$db->query($db->prepare($sql, 'site_announcement', '', '')); 

To

$h->db->query($h->db->prepare($sql, 'site_announcement', '', '')); 

Edit: Fixed in #966 (branch and trunk)
