    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>
