Why it’s important to update your n-gen.net powered website

Updating your Content Management System is one of the most important things you can do to keep your website running smoothly and securely, and ensure you can take advantage of the latest features. Here’s why staying up to date is so important:

New features and improvements

n-gen.net updates bring the latest capabilities to your website. From new capabilities in user facing modules such as Calendar, Contact forms, Login and Photo Gallery, to powerful enhancements in Admin modules such as Menu Management and the Page Manager, to entirely new features such as providing suggestions when mistyping an URL, updates can also help you boost productivity in new ways and get more out of your n-gen.net powered website.

n-gen.net updates might also deliver new capabilities for developers such as database and error messages checking tools. Keeping your n-gen.net up to date ensures you can take advantage of these features and enjoy the latest innovations.

Enhanced security

Updating your n-gen.net is the most effective way to stay secure. Updates might provide important security enhancements and critical fixes, protecting you against the SQL injections, Cross Site Scripting and other cybersecurity threats.

Bug fixes

n-gen.net CMS updates also include bug fixes that improve the overall stability, performance and reliability of your website.

How software updates work

n-gen.net CMS updates come in two forms: major releases (e.g. 1.3) and minor releases (e.g. [2025-10-06] or [2026-05-22]). Major releases typically happen when there are structural changes either to the code or the database schema and may include many new features, improvements, bug fixes and security enhancements. Minor releases happen regularly throughout the year and can include some new features, along with important security updates and bug fixes.

Updating your content management system is easy but you cannot choose to have updates installed automatically. It is always a manual process.

n-gen.net provides details of the updates in the release notes so through the Updater you can view both the source code and the release notes before installing them.

New features are exciting and help you get even more out of your n-gen.net powered website, although some may require a little extra learning.

n-gen.net works continually to optimise features, security and performance in updates to ensure easy administration and a smooth user experience for visitors of your n-gen.net powered website.
