 | ||
| </aside>
 | ||
| <p>SearXNG is a <em>rolling release</em>; each commit to the master branch is a release.
 | ||
| SearXNG is growing rapidly, the services and opportunities are change every now
 | ||
| and then, to name just a few:</p>
 | ||
| <ul class="simple">
 | ||
| <li><p>Bot protection has been switched from filtron to SearXNG’s <a class="reference internal" href="searx.limiter.html#limiter"><span class="std std-ref">limiter</span></a>, this requires a <a class="reference internal" href="settings/settings_redis.html#settings-redis"><span class="std std-ref">Redis</span></a> database.</p></li>
 | ||
| <li><p>To save bandwidth <a class="reference internal" href="settings/settings_ui.html#static-use-hash"><span class="std std-ref">cache busting</span></a> has been implemented.
 | ||
| To get in use, the <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">static-expires</span></code> needs to be set in the <a class="reference internal" href="installation-uwsgi.html#uwsgi-setup"><span class="std std-ref">uWSGI setup</span></a>.</p></li>
 | ||
| </ul>
 | ||
| <p>To stay tuned and get in use of the new features, instance maintainers have to
 | ||
| update the SearXNG code regularly (see <a class="reference internal" href="#update-searxng"><span class="std std-ref">How to update</span></a>).  As the above
 | ||
| examples show, this is not always enough, sometimes services have to be set up
 | ||
| or reconfigured and sometimes services that are no longer needed should be
 | ||
| uninstalled.</p>
 | ||
| <p>Here you will find a list of changes that affect the infrastructure.  Please
 | ||
| check to what extent it is necessary to update your installations:</p>
