      • update from 2.2.1 to 2.2.2
      • update from 2.2.0 to 2.2.2 (the latest maintenance release includes any fixes of previous maintenance releases)

      • upgrade from 2.1.0 to 2.2.0
      • upgrade from 2.1.1 to 2.2.2

Update

Applicability

  • For any update most updates the JOC Cockpit and the Controller are required to use the same maintenance release, for example 2.2.2.
  • Existing Agents can continue to be operated with newer Controller releases within the same minor release, for example 2.2.
    • Newer minor Agent releases cannot be used with an older minor Controller release: for example, an Agent 2.2 will not work with a Controller 2.1.
    • Older minor Agents releases cannot be used with newer minor Controller releases: for example, an Agent 2.1 will not work with a Controller 2.2.
