I’ve been running with the Mantra theme for around 8 years now, with the current version on my site of 3.0.5. I’ve been putting off upgrading from WP 4 (currently running 4.9) to 5, but need to make that happen. Is there anything I need to be watching out for if I upgrade to 5.5.1 and the latest Mantra version? I’ll make backups, etc., but if there are known pitfalls it would be nice to know in advance. Site is pretty simple actually (sswda.org). thanks in advance!

We’ve just released a Mantra update which corrects a little hiccup caused by a change in WordPress 5.5, so we expect the theme to get along with this WordPress release just fine.

You should, however, expect surprises if you use plugins on your site as there were important JavaScript related changes in 5.5 that affected multiple plugins (some of which have released compatibility updates in the meantime).
