pipecat pipecat UPGRADE

Affected: >= 0.0.90 and < 1.2.0

Fixed in: 1.2.0

Safe to downgrade to: a release before 0.0.90

1. Check installed version

pip show pipecat

2. UPGRADE to 1.2.0

pip install --upgrade "pipecat>=1.2.0"

3. If no update is available yet, DOWNGRADE to a release before 0.0.90

pip index versions pipecat pip install "pipecat<0.0.90"

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.
