<p>Hi John,</p>
<p>Hi John,</p>
<p>For professional use we normally recommend the LTR releases (once they become LTR after 4 months): 3.22 is now LTR, 3.28 will be LTR in february next year. Every third release (3.22, 3.28, 3.34) will become LTR 4 months after the initial release.</p>
<p>See also <a href="https://www.qgis.org/en/site/getinvolved/development/roadmap.html#release-schedule">https://www.qgis.org/en/site/getinvolved/development/roadmap.html#release-schedule</a> --> look for the "Long-Term Repo" column.</p>
<p>.0 and partially also .1 releases are not recommended for production use unless you are willing to take risks and/or want to help testing.</p>
<p>Helping testing is always appreciated. Ideally testing would be done already with nightly builds before the releases.</p>
<p>Greetings,</p>
<p>Andreas</p>

<p class="v1MsoNormal">It's important to know what is the current version you are using and what is the version you want to update to. I would suggest using 3.22 LTR.</p>

<p class="v1MsoNormal">Nevertheless, both 3.22 LTR and 3.26 versions should be retro compatible with most 3.x versions.</p>

<p class="v1MsoNormal" style="mso-margin-top-alt: auto; mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto;">I work for an IT service provider in Australia and we are working with a client that uses QGIS.</p>

<p class="v1MsoNormal" style="mso-margin-top-alt: auto; mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto;">The client is requesting for their QGIS to be updated/upgraded to the latest version. Just wanted to check if there is anything we need to take note when doing the update/upgrade. User is worried about compatibility issues.</p>

<p class="v1MsoNormal" style="mso-margin-top-alt: auto; mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto;">If there is none, are we good to just directly install the latest version on server for all users to have updated version of the software?</p>
