[ViX_Misc] Anyone know why Vix 6.1.XXX didn't last very long and we now have 6.2.XXX

[spevs]

I am running 6.0.008 with no Problems on three Vu+ boxes, I upgraded to 6.1.003 as I like to keep up to date on images, but had issues with Xtream Editor VPN running Nord so reverted back. Anyone know where I can get info on what's been changed in 6.2.XXX and is it worth me giving a new upgrade a go...............

There was a package which would not update and people would have to manually replace the file. Otherwise flash and restore. Changing image line forces the flash and restore.

AIUI you can update from say 6.0.004 to 6.0.006 without re-flashing, but from say 6.0.006 to 6.1.003 needs a reflash.
So going from a.b.x to a.b.y (where y > x) an update is okay. Larger jumps in version numbers you must re-flash.
So the numbers change partly according to whether any change has been made that means a simple update can't work and a complete re-flash is required.
Presumably they unexpectedly had to make another change that is incompatible with updating, so we had to go to 6.2.

Hi Huevos, do you have any idea when 6.2.002 will be released...........Thanks

Probably a couple of weeks... due to the openssl changes.
