Epilogue

It should be evident that most of the new changes are packaged for r4.3 and tested there. Many of them may never be ported to r4.2. I will receive the necessary storage to properly backup all of my data on Wednesday. And I will finally upgrade to r4.3 next week.

Your weekly review is awesome, thanks!

deeplow · July 23, 2024, 10:08am

Indeed it is!

likeafox · July 23, 2024, 11:01am

These update summaries are helpful and highly appreciated.

And I’m looking forward to my usb keyboard not malfunctioning every week. Thanks everyone!

tempmail · July 27, 2024, 9:05pm

Thanks for these updates. Is there any timeline for official 4.3 release?

alimirjamali · July 27, 2024, 9:12pm

Glad that you liked it.

I do not believe any time frame to exist. We have this Issue on R4.3 which states:

For now this issue is a placeholder to collect tasks the (4.2 → 4.2 upgrade) tool will need to do.

tempmail · July 27, 2024, 9:21pm

Thanks. So if you were on 4.1 would you wait for 4.3 or you’d upgrade to 4.2x?

alimirjamali · July 27, 2024, 9:28pm

Definitely upgrade to r4.2.2 as soon as possible. For two reasons. 1st of all, r4.1 is End-of-Life and only receives security updates rather than feature improvements. But even that is for a short period. The 2nd reason is that it would be very likely for R4.3 upgrade tool to accept only R4.2 devices. Not R4.1

By not upgrading to R4.2, you are missing the possibility to do in place upgrades to new releases. And you might need to do a complete fresh install.

p.s. Always keep backups & verify them before major upgrades.

tempmail · July 28, 2024, 10:48am

Thanks for your thoughts. I already am not a fan of in-place upgrades, so clean install is a-must when it’s about me. I was more thinking about 4.3 timeline when asking this, and of course about WinVM’s ability to run on Qubes >v4.1x.

This is fantastic; thank you
