## Guidance on updating to new releases

* Supported releases are patched for security and other critical bugs. Always use the latest patch of a given release. For example, for EF Core 2.1, use 2.1.x for the highest 'x' available.
* Major version updates (for example, from EF Core 2 to EF Core 3) often have breaking changes. Thorough testing is advised when updating across major versions. Use the breaking changes links above for guidance on dealing with breaking changes.
* Supported releases are patched for security and other critical bugs. Always use the latest patch of a given release. For example, for EF Core 9.0, use 9.0.x for the highest 'x' available.
* Major version updates (for example, from EF Core 8 to EF Core 9) often have breaking changes. Thorough testing is advised when updating across major versions. Use the breaking changes links above for guidance on dealing with breaking changes.
* Minor version updates do not typically contain breaking changes. However, thorough testing is still advised since new features can introduce regressions.
