Minor Nextcloud releases are security and functionality bug fixes, not rewrites of major systems that risk user data! We subject our codebase to extensive automated testing, followed by validation on a series of real-world systems before releasing them to the public. This ensures that minor release upgrades are generally painless and reliable. As the updates not only fix feature issues but also security problems, it is highly recommended to upgrade!

If you are maintaining a mission-critical Nextcloud system for your enterprise, we also highly recommended Nextcloud Enterprise. With a hotline to the core Nextcloud developers, it’s the best guarantee of reliable service for your users and peace-of-mind for system administrators – maybe that’s you!
