Title: Point release question
Post by: kalpana on Nov 08, 2023, 03:45 AM
Greetings,
I have a question regarding point releases and their relevance in term of system requirements in let's say a programmer developer environment.
Does it make any sense to list a point release (e.g.: 20.04.3) in the system requirement or is it enough to just list the release "20.04".

My understanding so far is that point releases just include up-to date packages with all the bug-fixes and similar, which were not in the initial release. This way you get a more stable install ISO and a more stable fresh installation, but if you install 20.04.X and run update, you end up with the same system.
Is this correct or is there more to it?
