How do I upgrade to version 10.1? Normal update procedure? New Installation? I have version 10 with a BUG that I think was fixed in version 10.1.
Hi,
The wiki mentions security fixes for Modern UI in 10.1, are these applicable to older releases as well? Will patches for 9.0 and 10.0 be released soon? Or are there any mitigations?
