progress telerik ui for winui UPGRADE

Affected: >= 2.0.0 and < 3.0.0

Fixed in: 3.0.0

Safe to downgrade to: a release before 2.0.0

1. Check installed version

apt-cache policy telerik-ui-for-winui || rpm -q telerik-ui-for-winui || telerik-ui-for-winui --version

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 2.0.0 (Debian / Ubuntu)

apt-cache madison telerik-ui-for-winui sudo apt install telerik-ui-for-winui=<VERSION_BEFORE_2.0.0> sudo apt-mark hold telerik-ui-for-winui

dnf --showduplicates list telerik-ui-for-winui sudo dnf downgrade telerik-ui-for-winui-<VERSION_BEFORE_2.0.0> sudo dnf versionlock add telerik-ui-for-winui

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.
