❗ This release contains a new node version ❗

Upgrading an existing ioBroker to a new node version still may cause some issues. To minimize this, make sure your js-controller and adapters are in latest stable version. Make also sure you have a valid backup. Just in case you have to revert back to latest-v7 or restore your backup into a new ioBroker instance.

In general the js-controller should handle the new node version well. In some rare cases some adapters need a little help by reinstalling them.

Although an upgrade by recreating the container is possible, the smoothest way is still setting up a new iobroker and restoring it from a backup. For more details about upgrades see official ioBroker Docker image docs.
