[Qgis-user] How to install the long term updates?

[Andreas Neumann]

Hi Thomas,

2.8.2 is the latest release version. There are no automatic updates - 
every update is like a new install.

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.

However, you should regularly test versions on a non-production 
environment so we can fix the bugs ...

Hope this helps,
Andreas
