I try to keep my install pretty up-to-date (to my detriment sometimes, but y’all have always helped me figure out early adopter problems).

Now, however, I’m two release versions behind (6.14.0) the current release of 6.16.1, and …

`git pull && docker compose pull && docker compose up -d`

… tells me I’m ‘Already up to date.’

Any advice, or insight as to why the docker images lag behind a bit?

Thanks!

Another [post](https://forum.ghost.org/t/self-hosters-left-vulnerable-to-xss-vuln-due-to-second-class-docker-support/61674/3) has already addressed the reasons behind the delay - I didn’t dig deep enough before posting. Linking here in case anyone else had similar concerns.
