Upgrade

List versions to see if a newer release is available:

uvm ls

If a new release is available you can upgrade by running the update command:

uvm update

The version manager program (uvm) is considered stable and is not included when upgrading to a new release; if you need to upgrade the version manager use the --self option:

uvm update --self

We try our best to ensure you never need to downgrade by planning for backwards compatibility but we do make mistakes so if you need it the use command will install and select a specific version:

uvm use 0.30.0

Rather than relying on the default release version a better approach is to use project versioning which we discuss next.
