    Updating NuGet packages / dependancies?

    I am new to umbraco and every other CMS i have used preaches to update all dependancies and plugins to the latest version for bug fixes and security patches...

    So on checking i noticed my clean install has 34 nuget package updates

    Is it ok to go ahead and install these or will this break the site?

    Thanks

    We carefully set all the dependencies to known working versions, unfortunately we have a lot of them so it's very difficult to keep up and test updates for every package.

    The short answer is: yes, updating them all will definitely break the site.

    The long answer is: it depends, some dependencies are fine (json.net for example usually doesn't break when you update it) but we recommend only doing it if you NEED a specific update.

    Ok brilliant, thanks for the reply.

    One thing to add i had to update:

    Microsoft.CodeAnalysis to 1.1 as 1.0 threw an exception

    Were you able to update all dependencies other than Microsoft.CodeAnalysis and get everything working?
