## Version Support Guidelines
To ensure the security and stability of your PySNMP installation, please adhere to the following upgrade recommendations:
- **Always Upgrade to the Latest Patch Release**
Patch releases address critical security vulnerabilities and bug fixes. Ensure you are using the latest patch version within your current major or minor release.
*Example:* If you are on version 6.1.2, upgrade to 6.1.4.
- **Upgrade to the Next Minor Release Within 6 Months**
Minor releases include new features and improvements. Upgrade to the latest minor version within 6 months after a new minor release is available to continue receiving security updates.
*Example:* After 6.2.0 is released, upgrade to the latest 6.2.x within 6 months.
> Note that our plan is to reduce this from 6 months to 3 months for 7.1.0 and above.
- **Upgrade to the Next Major Release Within 1 Year**
Major releases may introduce significant changes and new functionalities. Upgrade to the latest major version within 1 year after a new major release to maintain support and security updates.
*Example:* After 7.0.0 is released, upgrade to 7.x.x within 1 year.
### Recommended Upgrade Path
