    Usually I wait for a .1 release before upgrading. But my 2025.7.4 hangs every few days anyway, so I assume it can only get better, right?

      Wüst you should do is creating a second home assistant dev environment on your computer.

      Doesn’t matter if VM or Docker.
      On VM you can make a snapshot.

      Then backup your regular HA and import it on your dev.
      In the dev HA you can check the update. If it does not work reset the snapshot.

      If it works, do your update on the main HA.

      As I didn’t need it, unchecked, but maybe two HA could be installed on a raspi, 1 for live one for staging.

        I always do a backup first and a snapshot on my Proxmox cluster. So, I can easily roll back in case the update is not working.

        Still, some issues occur later down the line and then a rollback is still possible - but more painful.
