The "MINOR" is the number in the middle, for example, in `0.2.3`, the MINOR version is `2`.

## Upgrading the FastAPI versions { #upgrading-the-fastapi-versions }

You should add tests for your app.

With **FastAPI** it's very easy (thanks to Starlette), check the docs: [Testing](../tutorial/testing.md){.internal-link target=_blank}

## Upgrading MinIO

Upgrades require zero downtime in MinIO, all upgrades are non-disruptive, all transactions on MinIO are atomic. So upgrading all the servers simultaneously is the recommended way to upgrade MinIO.

> [!NOTE]

allowing flexibility in the independent management of root accounts across sites and the ability to disable root accounts eventually.

However, this means that STS tokens signed previously by root credentials will no longer be valid upon upgrading to the latest version with this change. Please re-generate them as you usually do. Additionally, if site replication is ever removed - the STS tokens will become invalid, regenerate them as you usually do....

If you have an older version, you would get errors when trying to use `Annotated`.

Make sure you [Upgrade the FastAPI version](../deployment/versions.md#upgrading-the-fastapi-versions){.internal-link target=_blank} to at least 0.95.1 before using `Annotated`.

## Declare metadata { #declare-metadata }

You can declare all the same parameters as for `Query`.

If you have an older version, you would get errors when trying to use `Annotated`.

Make sure you [Upgrade the FastAPI version](../../deployment/versions.md#upgrading-the-fastapi-versions){.internal-link target=_blank} to at least 0.95.1 before using `Annotated`.

If you are using `pip` to install packages (it comes by default with Python), you should **upgrade** it to the latest version.

Many exotic errors while installing a package are solved by just upgrading `pip` first.

You would normally do this **once**, right after you create the virtual environment.

Make sure the virtual environment is active (with the command above) and then run:
