Platform updates

Microsoft ships minor platform updates monthly and major platform updates every six months.

• Minor updates

Minor updates can include bug fixes and improvements that should not affect the platform’s compatibility with the previous version of the application. In rare situations, partners may be asked to recompile their solution to work with a minor update of a Business Central platform.

• Major updates

Major updates will include changes that can require partners to perform a technical upgrade to make their application work with the new version of the platform. For more information, see the Dynamics 365 release plans.
