hot fix is included too.
• Major releases include the most significant changes that affect the entire robot software.
• Minor releases often include new features and smaller changes that only affect parts of
the software.
• Patch releases focus on fixing small issues in the software and introducing quality
improvements.
• Hot fix releases are only created when a patch release has introduced a critical issue that
needs to be fixed immediately.
Security patch policy
MiR applies the following policy when supplying security patches:
• New security patches are distributed per every minor release.
• All patch releases under a minor release include the security patches also. In other words,
if you chose not to install the first software version in a minor release, such as version
2.9.0, the security patches will still be installed when you update to 2.9.1 or higher.
• Whenever there is a new minor release with new security patches, the security patches
are also made available in a separate file. In this way, you are not required to update to
the latest software to apply the security patches. You can use any lower software version
and just install the security patches to that software instead.
