frappe erpnext UPGRADE

Affected: >= 11.0.4 and < 13.1.0 · 11.0.3 beta1 · 11.0.3 beta10 · 11.0.3 beta11 · 11.0.3 beta12 · 11.0.3 beta13 · 11.0.3 beta14 · 11.0.3 beta15

Fixed in: 13.1.0

Safe to downgrade to: a release before 11.0.3

1. Check installed version

apt-cache policy erpnext || rpm -q erpnext || erpnext --version

2. UPGRADE to 13.1.0 (Debian / Ubuntu)

sudo apt update && sudo apt install --only-upgrade erpnext

2. UPGRADE (RHEL / Amazon Linux / Fedora)

sudo dnf upgrade erpnext

Note

Distros often backport fixes without changing the version number. Confirm with the distro advisory or changelog.

3. If no update is available yet, DOWNGRADE to a release before 11.0.3 (Debian / Ubuntu)

apt-cache madison erpnext sudo apt install erpnext=<VERSION_BEFORE_11.0.3> sudo apt-mark hold erpnext

3. If no update is available yet, DOWNGRADE (RHEL / Amazon Linux / Fedora)

dnf --showduplicates list erpnext sudo dnf downgrade erpnext-<VERSION_BEFORE_11.0.3> sudo dnf versionlock add erpnext

Downgrade risk

Downgrading can break dependent software and may reopen older bugs. Read the distro advisory first and test on a non-production host.

After downgrade

Restart the service, and keep the package held until a fixed release ships.
