I've been happily using the spring release of av Linux 2020. I'm excited to try the new mx release but I'm midway through some projects at the moment and don't want to update until they are done. I noticed today in synaptic that there is a sizeable update. I'm curious what this update is? Does it update the spring release to the same generation as the mx release? If so will I have to fix much afterwards? Stability is important to me at the moment.
I'm really looking forward to trying the new release when I'm ready though!
Av Linux 2020.5.10 safe to update?

Hi,
I think Debian Buster has moved to a new point release (maybe 10.7?) so that usually makes a lot of updated Debian-specific base packages.. My advice is as always.. If you're in mid-production use the AVL Assistant to keep your browser up to date and if you're unsure about anything else leave it be until your production is done..
