**Note that automatic updates through Drupal's UI are disabled by farmOS** See
[https://drupal.org/node/3136140] for more information.
**Security Updates**
Some security updates can't wait till the next main release of farmOS.
So if you got a security warning in your farmOS or
read about a important drupal update, you should check if there is a
development update for farmOS available (normally released on the same day).
You can find the development updates at the bottom of
[https://drupal.org/project/farm] (the same page as the normal updates)
by the headline "Downloads".
**Security updates**
Occassionally there will be security updates to Drupal core and contributed
modules, which will cause the following message to show in farmOS:
**Checking your version**
You can see your installed version under '/admin/reports/status'.
> There is a security update available for your version of Drupal. To ensure the
> security of your server, you should update immediately! See the
> **available updates** page for more information.
When these upstream security updates are released, we update them in the
development branches of farmOS as soon as possible. If the vulnerabilities are
serious, we will also tag a new version release of farmOS. In many cases, a new
release is not urgent because the vulnerability does not directly affect farmOS.
If you would like to update before a new release is available, you can download
a "[development snapshot]" from Drupal.org.
