Updating the plugin - LunaCapra/CrewBoom GitHub Wiki
Important
CrewBoom is not being actively maintained.
This means that there will likely not be any more updates to worry about.
CrewBoom follows semantic versioning, meaning a format of <major>.<minor>.<patch>
When updating it's important to pay attention to the version number and if it will break anything made with previous versions.
-
MAJOR
Versions like 1.x, 2.x, 3.x etc. are MAJOR versions and are bound to break compatibility with previous versions.
Only update to a new major version if you're okay with things potentially breaking and having to be redone. -
MINOR
Versions like 2.1.x, 2.2.x, 3.1.x, 3.2.x etc. are MINOR versions and can, but don't have to break compatibility.
Make sure to read the release notes for minor versions to check if compatibility is broken with previous versions. -
PATCH
Versions like 3.1.1, 3.1.4, 3.1.5 etc. are PATCH versions and will not break compatibility.
You are safe and recommended to update to new patch versions, as they usually fix bugs and crashes.
Tip
If you are unsure, the release notes will always mention if compatibility has been broken with the release, so make sure to read them.
Navigate to your BepInEx plugin directory (BepInEx\plugins\CrewBoom)
and replace any DLL files with the versions in the plugin.zip you downloaded from the new release.
