Upgrade and Stable Versions

Silverstripe Version:
4.0
Question:
I am not too familiar with SilverStripe/Composer and had a general question. If I’m running version 4.0 do I need to upgrade to the latest minor versions? Is my version stable or should I upgrade for potential security issues?

If you run composer info you’ll see the exact versions of software that is installed. It’s definitely worth keeping up to date with the latest stable versions as there have been a number of security and functionality fixes over recent months.

If you’re using 3rd party modules, make sure they’re compatible before you update, there were some differences which had the potential to break things.
