However, suppose a setup uses `podman-remote` or uses a client that communicates with the Podman server on a remote machine via the REST API. In that case, it is required to upgrade both the Podman client and the Podman server running on the remote machine. Both the Podman client and server must be upgraded to the same version. + +Example: If a particular bug was fixed in `v4.1.0` then The Podman client` must have version `v4.1.0` as well the Podman server must have version `v4.1.0`. -- cgit v1.2.3-54-g00ecf
