Upgrading Salt
|
|
--------------
|
|
|
|
When upgrading Salt, the master(s) should always be upgraded first. Backwards
|
|
compatibility for minions running newer versions of salt than their masters is
|
|
not guaranteed.
|
|
|
|
Whenever possible, backwards compatibility between new masters
|
|
and old minions will be preserved. Generally, the only exception to this
|
|
policy is in case of a security vulnerability.
