.. include:: /Includes.rst.txt .. _minor: =================== Patch/Bugfix update =================== What are patch/bugfix updates ============================= Patch/Bugfix updates contain bugfixes and security updates. They never contain new features and do not break backwards compatibility. For example, updating from TYPO3 version `11.5.2` to `11.5.3` is a patch/bugfix update. Before updating =============== The :ref:`pre-upgrade tasks ` chapter contains a list of tasks that should be actioned prior to upgrading to a major release. The only tasks that need to actioned for a patch/bugfix update are :ref:`making a backup ` and :ref:`updating the reference index `. Check if updates are available =============================== There are two ways to check if a patch/bugfix update is available for an installation of TYPO3. All supported versions of TYPO3 and their version numbers are published on `get.typo3.org `_. Alternatively, running `composer outdated -m "typo3/*"` will present a list of any TYPO3 packages that have patch/bugfix updates. Execute the update ================== To execute the update, run `composer update --with-all-dependencies "typo3/*"`. This will update all TYPO3 packages, the `--with-all-dependencies` signals that any dependencies of TYPO3 should also be updated. Post update =========== Once Composer has finished updating the installation of TYPO3, log in to the backend and clear all caches. :guilabel:`Admin Tools > Maintenance > Flush TYPO3 and PHP Cache`
