Upgrading to FM11

One of our desktop application was developed in FileMaker 5 (i.e it is multi-file application). Three years back we converted it to fp7 (multi-files) and is hosted on Fm server 8 and is accessed by user in FileMaker Pro 8. FileMaker Inc, is going to stop support for Filemaker 8, since sept 2010. Two questions here are

1. Should we upgrade to FM server 11 and FileMaker Pro 11?

2. Any modifcations are required in fp7 files to host the application using FM 11?

Thanks in advance.

There were slight changes in behaviour that may cause some problems:

FMP 9.0 empty fields no longer work as keys for relationships

FMP 10 list views in browse mode automatically resort, which may cause problems for scripts that loop through records and change the field that is used for the sort.

There may be a couple more.
