Yes you should upgrade to 5.1 and the great thing about it is that since 5.1 this version has LTS (long term support) for 2 years in development and 3 year for security fixes.

So you won't have to worry for a few years about new upgrades.

aah i did read about the 2 years support, i just thought it meant someone will help you with your support question..

Saw a tweet which read...

"Just upgraded from L5 to L5.1, took all of 5 minutes. Nice way to start the day!"

Not tried it myself but looks positive.

Seems like a small project ;-)

Took me about 20 minutes. (Including composer update)

i tried and now i am getting an error when I do composer update or artisan compile

[ErrorException] array_merge(): Argument #2 is not an array it doesnt say what file or anything so i cannot debug this

OK i foolishly created an empty services.json file in the bootstrap/cache folder for some reason.. simply had to delete it

I would not upgrade I would simply install Laravel 5.1 and transfer your files over to 5.1 and make any changes in the controllers, models, views as needed. really this should only take maybe 2 to 3 hours tops. most controller code should work already but there might be small changes.

I really don't think you need to do the fresh install & copy method that jimgwhit is suggesting if you're just going from 5.0 to 5.1. The changes you need to make are fairly small. See http://laravel.com/docs/5.1/upgrade.
