Software Updates
Important: For a seamless upgrade experience in upcoming releases, it's crucial to upgrade from version 2.16.4 to 2.22.2 before making any further upgrades. Skipping the initial upgrade to version 2.16.4 and then 2.22.2 may disrupt the upgrade process, and is therefore not recommended.
