Patch Releases
Major releases will be patched as bugs are resolved. These are called “patch” or “point” releases.
Patch releases never include new functionality or major changes.
Patch releases are always explicitly bug fixes. NOT a new functionality.
Reinstalling a major release will automatically install the latest patch release.
Patch releases frequently contain preemptive bug fixes for issues that were found in newer releases.
Note: the decision to back-port to older versions via patch releases is made by GENERAL BYTES based on the severity of the issue (and other factors).
We strongly encourage operators to routinely upgrade to the newest patch release (weekly), and to upgrade to the latest full release at least every two months. This is for security purposes.
Upgrading your server or terminal to the same installed version results in the installation of the latest patch release for that particular version.
For example:
sudo /batm/batm-manage upgrade-server 20220311
Note: the version must not contain a dot (or the patch level after the dot)!
EOL abbreviation next to the release version means that the release version already reached End Of Life and there are no new patches planned for this release. It is highly recommended to operate your server only a version that has not reached EOL yet. Operator should be ready to receive emergency security patch that might not be available for EOL marked versions.
