| Mandatory Update | ||
| ============== | ||
|
|
||
|
|
||
| How to Upgrade | ||
| ============== | ||
|
|
||
| If you are running an older version, shut it down. Wait until it has completely shut down (which might take a few minutes for older versions), then run the installer (on Windows) or just copy over /Applications/Ion-Qt (on Mac) or iond/ion-qt (on Linux). | ||
|
|
||
|
|
||
| Compatibility | ||
| ============== | ||
|
|
||
| Ion Core is extensively tested on multiple operating systems using the Linux kernel, macOS 10.10+, and Windows 7 and later. | ||
|
|
||
| Microsoft ended support for Windows XP on [April 8th, 2014](https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/WindowsForBusiness/end-of-xp-support), No attempt is made to prevent installing or running the software on Windows XP, you can still do so at your own risk but be aware that there are known instabilities and issues. Please do not report issues about Windows XP to the issue tracker. | ||
|
|
||
| Ion Core should also work on most other Unix-like systems but is not frequently tested on them. | ||

| 3.2.00 Change log | ||
| ============== | ||
|

||
| Detailed release notes follow. This overview includes changes that affect behavior, not code moves, refactors and string updates. For convenience in locating the code changes and accompanying discussion, both the pull request and git merge commit are mentioned. | ||

|
||
| ### Core Features | ||
|
|
||
| ### Build System | ||
|
|
||
| Major update for automatic building. We have a system which builds on each change of master, providing binaries for all changes on our github master branch. | ||
|
|
||
| Each time when master branch changes, snapcraft starts building and publishes releases linux builds for _**amd64, i386, arm, aarch64, ppc64el and s390x**_ architectures. (_s390x has no qt binary_). Snapcraft auto releases to the _**edge**_ channel. | ||
|
|
||
| Beta channel is quite the same as edge channel, it is built automaticly on each change with a difference to edge channel is that launchpad builds every 6 hours (4 times a day) which is considered to be more stable than edge channel as building happens not on each commit on master. Launchpad checks in interval of 6 hours if there are any changes and if our github repository updated, then launchpad will create snap builds _**amd64, i386, arm, aarch64, ppc64el and s390x**_ and debian packages for _**amd64, i386 (Bionic, Cosmic)**_ from same commit. | ||

||
| - Overview of **release/stable** channels: _**Release**_ and _**RC (Release Candidate)**_ | ||

| :-----: | :---------------: | :--: | :--: | ||
