On this package you will find information about MatterLinux release cycle and
|
||
|
|
version numbering.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
## Release Cycle
|
||
|
|
MatterLinux will make a new release once a year. A new release means every package will be updated
|
||
|
|
to a more recent version. Packages will replace the old ones,
|
||
|
|
meaning old packages will no longer be available and support for the old release will end.
|
||
|
|
If you are using an old release, you will able to update to the latest one by running a
|
||
|
|
full update using the [MatterLinux Package Manager](/wiki/package_man).
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
During the testing of the new release, repos for the new release will be located
|
||
|
|
at [next.matterlinux.xyz](https://next.matterlinux.xyz).
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
### Package Updates
|
||
|
|
Packages usually won't be updated to a more recent version during the life of a MatterLinux release,
|
||
|
|
however sometimes packages may be updated for bug fixes, security issues and minor improvements.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
### ISOs and Base Archives
|
||
|
|
ISO and base archive file for a release may update before the next release to keep the
|
||
|
|
packages in these archive files and the ISOs up-to-date.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
## Version Numbering
|
||
|
|
MatterLinux and all it's projects are version numbered after the year.
|
||
|
|
For example MatterLinux release for the year 2024 is versioned "MatterLinux 24".
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Minor numbers may be added for other releases. For example the 2nd release of the
|
||
|
|
MatterLinux 24 ISO would be named "MatterLinux 24.01".
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Similarly 15th release of the MatterLinux package manager for the year 2024
|
||
|
|
is versioned "24.14".
