it say nothing to do

Then there nothing to update or upgrade.

but the version is old in control panel

That version number in Control Panel is just the version number of the installer and it has nothing to with packages version.

ccyykkcyk commented 2 years ago

Does this mean I don't need to do anything when a new installer is released?

Biswa96 commented 2 years ago

Nope. Just update the packages regularly as usual.
