We strongly advise updating to the latest version, if only for the fact that later versions offer more functionality, and may fix any bugs in an earlier
release.
You can install a new release of MX directly over your existing
*Important, please read all of the release notes (in the appropriate forum announcement threads) for the builds since the version you are upgrading from.
*If you are currently running an old release of MX, you might want to check [[Updating MX to new version]] page, as that has some advice about whether it is best to upgrade in multiple steps.
Note by Steve Loft: you may find that anti-virus software flag a new release of Cumulus as a ‘threat’, for a few days or weeks after a new version has been released, even though it does not actually contain a virus of any kind. This is due to a system they call ‘reputation’ where they automatically block any versions of software which have recently been released. You may want to consider complaining to the provider of your anti-virus software about this ridiculous system, or better still, use some better anti-virus software.
