When there is a new ownCloud version release, any third party applications written by a "third party author" may not work as expected with a new release. It takes time for third party authors to update their applications to work with a new ownCloud release. Some third party applications can be "restored" from backups or re-installed from the ownCloud applications store successfully for a new ownCloud version release.
When moving to a new ownCloud version release the '''[http://owncloud.org/features/ ownCloud Community ]''' 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).
