Markdown versions of documentation pages are available by appending `.md` to page URLs; this page is available as [Markdown](https://cortex-docs.paloaltonetworks.com/cortex-cloud-runtime-security-rn/cortex-cloud-runtime-security-release-information/maintenance-releases.md). # Maintenance releases Cortex Cloud includes a number of features that are updated with every Cortex Cloud Release. The Broker VM and XDR Collectors are released with their own version number, and can include additional changes that are integrated in a separate maintenance release. The latest Broker VM and XDR Collectors version is the only one to receive the critical bug fixes and security patches released. Therefore, we highly recommend upgrading to the latest version released. For more information about previous maintenance releases, see [Previous maintenance releases](/cortex-cloud-runtime-security-rn/cortex-cloud-runtime-security-release-information/previous-maintenance-releases.md) --- # Agent Instructions This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com. ## Querying This Documentation If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question. Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter: ``` GET https://cortex-docs.paloaltonetworks.com/cortex-cloud-runtime-security-rn/cortex-cloud-runtime-security-release-information/maintenance-releases.md?ask=&goal= ``` `ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language. `goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal. The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation. Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
