Upgrading to latest release

Hello. I couldn't find a real answer to this in the forum, so I'll ask.
I saw that Q4OS Orion has been released and as I always want to be on the latest version, I want to upgrade. But how do I upgrade via terminal?
The sudo apt-get dist-upgrade doesn't do anything and there's no do-release-upgrade as in Ubuntu...
So is there a way to upgrade to the latest release without having to download the latest iso?

Re: Upgrading to latest release

Umm, sorry for double post, can't find a button to edit post so...

EDIT: Never mind. I found the command "get-q4os-version" that shows I already have 1.8.6-n1...
Though a suggestion: make a "sticky" post describing how to learn what version of Q4OS you have and how the upgrade system handles releases, for n00bs as myself wink

Re: Upgrading to latest release

New versions of Q4OS are pushed thru  so every time you update your system, in my case thru Synaptic I get all those changes, newest version.
Hers the original thread, www.q4os.org/forum/viewtopic.php?id=883

Totally agree about having a sticky and and maybe a-read this first- thread for the obvious stuff all new users must know. There is also a FAQ in the documents section that has quite a bit of info.

First thing regardless of which version you have of Orion installed is to immediately update to become current.

Glad you found what you needed.
