Hi Alexis,
thanks! So do I understand it correctly, that security updates won't be (publicly) available until v3.1? Or will there be a 3.0.1 release?
With my default repostitory settings, would I automatically update to v3.1, as soon as it's released?
I want to make sure, that I'm not missing out any security updates.
Cheers,
Chris
