ReadyNAS OS forks 6.9.5 vs 6.10

So my understanding is that 6.9.5 would continue to receive fixes vs new capabilities via hotfixes.

New capabilities would be introduced in 6.10 and subsequent versions.

 

However I see fixes introduced into 6.10--will those be covered in a 6.9.5 hotfix 2? or is there not alot of priorityplaced toward those to stayed in 6.9.5?  6.9.5 is quite stable!

 

thanks

At some point the long term stable (LTS) release will shift upwards to 6.10.x.  So Netgear might do that instead of releasing more hot fixes to 6.9.5.

Also, the LTS release is currently 6.9.6, not 6.9.5. https://kb.netgear.com/000061331/ReadyNAS-OS-6-Software-Version-6-9-6-Long-term-support-version-of-6...

Though checking for an update on a 6.9.5 unit with the LTS option selected will not show you this update is available.

Re: ReadyNAS OS forks 6.9.5 vs 6.10

although frankly to have many LTS versions becomes confusing, i get that.  However even the title of this link:https://kb.netgear.com/000061331/ReadyNAS-OS-6-Software-Version-6-9-6-Long-term-support-version-of-6...

 

ReadyNAS OS 6 Software Version 6.9.6 - Long-term support version of 6.10.2

 

is very confusing as you cannot download 6.9.6, just 6.10.2.  That begs to ask the question what about 6.9.6 and others like mine.  I feel like I am being given a false sense of security on what I will receive if anything for those of us still on 9.6.5 as LTS.

The download link is on the page linked above, though you have to manually install it.  It's just two bug fixes:

 

Bug Fixes:

  • Fixed Microsoft OneDrive authentication issue
  • Updated Gmail notifications to follow Google's security requirements

If neither of them affects you, you needn't bother (I haven't).
