TubeStudio is built from the ground up to upgrade itself. From the support admin you have the ability to select the latest version that you want to to upgrade to and TubeStudio will then preform all the upgrade tasks in the background while you continue to work and your sites continue to function. This article will walk you through the upgrade process.
Why Upgrade
TMM is always working hard to provide you with the the most stable and feature rich tube software available. Throughout the course of development from one release to the next we will occasionally release patch versions that will fix severe and critical bugs. These patches will sometimes also contain new features or improvements on existing features. Once we have fully tested a version that contains all the current patches plus other features and/or code fixes we will release the next version.
You can always update the the latest release or patch version by visiting the Support Admin page. When choosing the version to upgrade to you will sometimes have two options.
- Upgrade to the latest stable version
- Update to the latest released patch.
The latest patch will always contain recent bug fixes. Do to the rapid changing environment of the web we are constantly adding new features to help you stay competitive and will pre-release them in the latest patches so admin wishing for the cutting edge can take advantage of them if they choose to. However these features are usually not considered stable and 'fully tested' until its included in the next release.
