# Maintenance Release for the Week of 29 July 2018

Welcome to maintenance release number 11 of 2018! If this is your first time getting an update from us, maintenance releases are smaller updates between major releases, and are mostly comprised of bug fixes, tweaks, and small (but meaningful!) improvements. We always recommend using a [staging site](https://docs.nexcess.com/software/the-events-calendar/creating-and-using-a-wordpress-staging-site/) to test these changes before updating on a live site. **⚠ Important:** Just a heads up that we have changed the way assets are loaded in our plugins, so it is possible you see some deprecated notices when updating. If you update all of our plugins (both free and premium) it shouldn’t be a problem and no notices should show up. Due to these changes – and to prevent any conflicts – we have bumped the *minimum required version* needed for our premium plugins to work alongside The Events Calendar and Event Tickets. Therefor, it is recommended you first update our free plugins (The Events Calendar and Event Tickets) to the latest versions before proceeding with the rest of the premium plugin updates. To see all of the changes included in this maintenance release, check out the changelogs for all updated plugins below:
