>> Read through and understand this process before attempting it. For critical or physically remote machines, test it on an identical, local system first.

- tiffanyh 3y agoTypically you don't have breaking changes for a point release.
- accrual 3y agoFor OpenBSD at least, every release has equal weight and always increments by 0.1. There isn't a distinction between major and minor releases like other projects have. There are patches/errata, but those don't bump the version.
- petee 3y agoTheres a reason they call it an system upgrade, and not a patch or update. Blindly upgrading anything important without rtfm is just plain irresponsible, yet OP has used openbsd for 20 years and keeps making the same mistake over and over; typically you don't do that.
