Software Updates: big and chunky or small and frequent?

[Ben Russell]

Which software update approach do you prefer?

Hallo Ben,

 

the small one are the best. Too many changes in one update are not good.

 

Best greetings

Depends on what is being updated.

 

Smaller updates can be good to see the progress in a project, like when a new feature is added, or a small bug gets removed.

 

But, if there are lots of things that need to be fixed, upgraded, etc, sometimes pushing a large patch to fix all of the issues is best.

Small ones so we can have fixes/updates quicker

Both - the former is good, when one is feeling adventurous and doesn't mind playing with things; however there are many people, who prefer/need stability...

Maybe a compromise would be a way - major version once in a while, followed by few quick bugfix releases if needed.

Kind regards,
