Hi Thomas,<br>
<br>
2.8.2 is the latest release version. There are no automatic updates
- every update is like a new install.<br>
<br>
In my organization I have not yet introduced 2.8x. We are still at
2.6. I am still waiting for 2.8.3, because I need some DXF export
improvements pending. In general, it is a good idea to wait a bit
with the rollout of a new LTS release until at least the first bug
fix release version is out.<br>
<br>
However, you should regularly test versions on a non-production
environment so we can fix the bugs ...<br>
<br>
Hope this helps,<br>
Andreas<br>
