Note
This article currently (2021) contains only instructions for updates that were required years ago, and should no longer be needed . If a more involved upgrade (that requires instructions) happens again, it should be accompanied by a corresponding news item (that should be read and followed), and may also get a new entry here.

This page only lists changes, which must be considered before updating or risk system brakege. For regular updates, see sys-auth/polkit's changelog or upstream's NEWS file .
