Do you keep your paperless-ngx server up-to-date?

[astubenbord]

Due to recent changes to the API, I'd like to know how many of you regularly update their paperless-ngx instance? This is of interest because maintaining support for older versions is hard given the increased complexity of maintaining several API versions. So, before I restructure the code to support older versions (which is a lot of effort for me), I'd like to know if this is necessary at all.

If you don't update, I'd also like to know why, maybe there are good reasons to keep support for older versions that I just don't know of.

Thanks!

I think it is relatable and acceptable if an OS piece of software makes assumptions concerning the corresponding API levels. Whenever there is a malfunction with the app I first check for an update in Play Store and then in the docker repo. As long as you don't get paid for it, I dont see a benefit in supporting old API versions just to support people's lazy a**es. ;-)

I do update now and then not on regular base, but also not only "when i see something important".
Expectation for a (resonable) new paperless should be fine.
(But also expectation that a API is quite stable)
