# Keeping Up to Date

The Kendo UI for Vue packages are released frequently with bug fixes and new features.

> tip Some component packages provide codemods that help you migrate between major versions. For more information, see [Assisted Migration Tooling](https://www.telerik.com/kendo-vue-ui-develop/components/migration/assisted-migration).

## Semantic Versioning

The Kendo UI packages for Vue are released independently and their version numbers follow the rules of [Semantic Versioning](https://docs.npmjs.com/about-semantic-versioning):

* A major version bump (X.y.z) signals a breaking change in the API. You might need to update application code or dependencies.
* A minor version bump (x.Y.z) signals the addition of new features. Existing code will continue to work but new features may require additional setup.
* A patch version bump (x.y.Z) indicates a bug-fix release. Typically, patches do not require changes to application code.

> In the early stages of development, package versions start in the 0.y.z version range. Up to the 1.0 milestone, the API is considered unstable and minor versions may include breaking changes.

## Updating to Compatible Releases

The `package.json` file references a major version range—for example, `"@progress/kendo-vue-grid": "^3.0.0"`. To fetch the latest compatible Minor or Patch release, run `npm update`.

> Commit the updated `package-lock.json` file in the source control.

## Updating to Latest Versions

To update to the most recent versions of the Kendo UI for Vue components, use [`npm-check-updates`](https://www.npmjs.com/package/npm-check-updates).

* To upgrade all Progress packages, run:

  ```sh
  npx npm-check-updates --upgrade --filter "/@progress.*/"
  ```

* To upgrade only Kendo UI for Vue packages, run:

  ```sh
  npx npm-check-updates --upgrade --filter "/@progress/kendo-vue.*/"
  ```

* In some cases, you may have to specify the location of the `package.json` file:

  ```sh
  npx npm-check-updates --upgrade --filter "/@progress.*/" --packageFile ./package.json
  ```

A successful run will record the updated versions in `package.json` and `package-lock.json`.

> Upgrading between major versions might require you to change the application code.

## Updating Vue 2 project to Vue 3

To generate checklists for upgrading between the framework versions, use the [Vue 3 Migration Guide](https://v3-migration.vuejs.org/).

> The above migration guide is only about the update of the Vue Framework itself. After the framework version is updated, some changes in the configuration of the different Kendo UI for Vue components may need to be applied.

For the full Vue 2 support timeline and the migration guidance that is specific to the Kendo UI for Vue components, see the [Vue 2 End of Support](https://www.telerik.com/kendo-vue-ui-develop/components/vue2-deprecation) article.
