We are happy to announce that the new patch releases for 2.5.x, 2.6.x and 2.7.x are now available to download and install (2.5.8, 2.6.5 and 2.7.3).
These patch releases fix important bugs and security issues, so users should upgrade as soon as possible to the latest patch release for the CKAN version they are using. Patch release upgrades are very straight-forward and do not contain any backwards incompatible changes or involve any change in the requirements, database or Solr schema.
However, the 2.7.3 release fixes issues that might require extra steps from maintainers. Please refer to the CHANGELOG file to see if you might be affected. In case of doubt don't hesitate to ask for support in the mailing list or the IRC channel.
As stated in the release policy, the latest patch release is the only one officially supported. For details on how to upgrade, see the following links depending on your install method: Package upgrade Source upgrade   If you find any problem, let us know in the mailing list or the IRC channel.
