Starting from the ownCloud 8.0 release, new releases are issued in a "time based" schedule. Please be aware due to testing and software changes a schedule can be changed suddenly.
ownCloud does not New versions have a feature for automatically or for manually initiating the installation of new version releasesspecific numbering format: x. An administrator initiated "update" feature is "enabled" by default, but will only work in a "traditional" LAMP server environment using ownCloud install defaults. Moving to a new release is achieved by installing a newly updated "one click install" Amahi package. Installing a new ownCloud release manually is also possible but can introduce security risks due to manual configuration changes. Reinstalling a new Amahi package is a safer practice than a manual instally.z
When * x - each year there is will be a new ownCloud version release(i.e. 7, 8, any third party applications written by a "third party author" may not work as expected with 9).* y - every calendar quarter there will be a new releaseversion (i.e. 8.0 8.1, 8. It takes time 2), starting a 0 for third party authors to update their applications to work with a new ownCloud releasequarter 1. Some third party applications can be "restored" from backups or re* z -installed from the ownCloud applications store successfully for a new ownCloud version releasepatch and security releases are issued as necessary (i.e. 8.1.1, 8.1.2).
When moving Refer to a new the ownCloud version release the '''[httphttps://github.com/owncloud.org/ ownCloud Community core/wiki/Maintenance-and-Release-Schedule Maintenance and Release Schedule]''' has defined two activities, "updates" and "upgrades", as specific implementation activities. * '''Update:''' Bring an ownCloud instance to a new "point release" (ownCloud 6.0.5 => 6.0.6). * '''Upgrade: ''' Bring an ownCloud instance to a new "major release" (ownCloud 6.0.6 => 7.0.3)for more information.

__TOC__
* If you use automated backup and recovery software you may have to reload and reconfigure your ownCloud data and backup system configuration before the next backup set is taken. Some backup systems allow you to change the ownCloud directory names (data, ownCloud config,php location) in the existing backup sets (rsnapshot).
* Starting with ownCloud 8.0, any-to-any major version upgrades will be supported. Prior to ownCloud 8.0, it was necessary to upgrade one major version release at a time (i.e. ownCloud 5 -> 6 -> 7 -> 8)from the last prior software patch and security release. With ownCloud 8, it will be possible to upgrade from 8.0 to 8.3 or 9.1 directly. * Minor releases (versions that increase the third digit in the number) are planned by ownCloud for roughly each month. This means that once a month a minor release is "potentially" created for each supported version. Amahi will not necessarily provide all minor releases (i.e. 8.0.1, 8.0.2) unless a new minor release passes Amahi Tester certification. In the past we have experienced very buggy minor releases they disable main core functionality of ownCloud.
* Starting with ownCloud 8.0, on upgrade, most applications are disabled, only certain basic "core" applications are left enabled (Files, Pictures). The ownCloud Community has "slimmed" down their installation package to provide basic functionality. Most "core" applications have now been moved to the ownCloud appStore.
