The previous release gets fixes for: |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
- Security issues |
|
|
|
|

|
- Critical bugs |
|

|
|
|
|
|
- Regressions |
|
|

|
- Build issues |
|
|

|
|
- Necessary enhancements (including necessary UI/UX fixes) |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|

The backported fixes should avoid breaking downgrade between minor releases as much as possible. |
