I understand there are 4 cadence releases per year, for example 2026.1.0 and then 2026.2 through to 2026.4 by the year end.

2026.1 is the first release of 2026. Instead of starting at xxxx.0, it starts at xxxx.1

  • 2026.2.0 (Major)
    • 2026.2.1 (Update)
    • 2026.2.2 (Update)
  • 2026.3.0 (Major)
    • 2026.3.1 (Update)
    • 2026.3.2 (Update)
  • 2026.4.0 (Major)
    • 2026.4.1 (Update)
    • 2026.4.2 (Update)

My question is to a Safer is not about the major releases, rather regarding these updates.

Can you simply install as a patch over the existing major, or is it a full install, 2026.1.2 sure appears to be full install media?

Where is the documentation for installing patch hot fix to the existing flow installation directory?

I understand they’re working towards this, but it does require some rework of the underlying code base to accommodate it. ​@stewartatsafe can probably shed some light on it as he covered it in Seattle last year
