 # Important note

-New major image versions (e.g. v4, v5, v6) always come with a new major version of node! This might lead to problems when you update your ioBroker container by simply recreating it from the new major version image! To avoid having trouble with recompiling adapters, it is recommended to upgrade your container manually with backup and restore procedure. For more details please see the maintenance part of the new [ioBroker Docker image docs](https://docs.buanet.de/iobroker-docker-image/docs/#maintenance).
+New major image versions (e.g. v6, v7, v8) always include a new major version of node! Although js-controller should handle this kind of upgrade fine, in some cases this still results in problems with some adapters. To avoid having trouble with this major version upgrades, it is always a good move to upgrade your container manually with backup and restore procedure.

 # Important note

-New major image versions (e.g. v4, v5, v6) always come with a new major version of node! This might lead to problems when you update your ioBroker container by simply recreating it from the new major version image! To avoid having trouble with recompiling adapters, it is recommended to upgrade your container manually with backup and restore procedure. For more details please see the maintenance part of the new [ioBroker Docker image docs](https://docs.buanet.de/iobroker-docker-image/docs/#maintenance).
