ReadyNas Pro 4, should I update to 6.10.2? (current version is 6.9.4)

I updated my Pro 4 from old OS to OS6 (6.9.4) about 9 months ago.  So far so good. I did not see any problems.

 

I just realized that the lastest version is 6.10.2 now.   Should I do the upgrade?  What's the big difference between 6.9.4 and 6.10.2?

 

If there are NO big changes, I do not want to take the risk to do the firmware upgrade.  but if there are big changes, I think I will do it.

 

Thanks.

  • The "Long Term Support" version of the OS is 6.9.5, hotfix 1.  Well, maybe it's 6.9.6, but that's ever been put in the update server, as far as I can tell.  The release notes for 6.10.2 are here: ReadyNAS-OS-6-Software-Version-6-10-2 and you can find similar ones for 6.10.0 and 6.10.1.

     

    I thought I was ready to go with 6.10.x on my legacy systems when it was found that there was a repository problem killing a lot of apps.  With such a huge mistake made and only noticed by those outside Netgear, I decided it was not ready for prime time.  I'm still runing 6.9.5, and it seems rock solid.
