Updates
OpenPanel adheres to Semantic Versioning with a format of MAJOR.MINOR.PATCH (e.g., 0.6.5). Each part of the version indicates:
- MAJOR: Backward-incompatible changes.
- MINOR: New backward-compatible functionality.
- PATCH: Backward-compatible bug fixes.
Release Schedule
OpenPanel updates are released at least once a month, except for urgent bug fixes or critical security patches.
The OpenPanel Roadmap provides an overview of planned features and anticipated release dates for upcoming versions.
You can request new features or vote for proposed ones here: roadmap.openpanel.com.
Update Availability
Updates for existing installations are made available one week after a new version is released. This delay ensures that new versions are thoroughly tested in production environments before being rolled out to existing users. During this period, the latest version is available only for new installations.
Installing Beta Updates
If you wish to update before the scheduled release, you can manually apply the update by downloading the update scripts from GitHub.
What is Updated
The OpenPanel project consists of:
- Two independent panels: OpenPanel and OpenAdmin.
- Terminal commands: OpenCLI.
- Multiple Docker images.
- Related services: FloatingIP, FileWatcher.
- Configuration files that integrate these components.
Files located in /etc/openpanel/ are never updated.
Panels, CLI, and services are updated only when necessary—specifically, when changes are made to that part of the system. For example, OpenAdmin will only be updated if the changelog indicates modifications specific to OpenAdmin. This approach minimizes interruptions and ensures stability.
Updates Location
Update files are hosted on the following platforms:
- DockerHub: For OpenPanel and Docker images.
- GitHub: For OpenAdmin.
- Google Cloud: For OpenCLI.
Ensure that your server has access to these services to successfully download updates.
