Generally, if you prefer rarely updating Jenkins, the LTS would be a better choice. Four major releases per year, with two bugfix releases for each of them.
- Jenkins uses Jetty as default container (when running `java -jar jenkins.war`) since 1.535, resulting in possible issues with very large form submissions (like the resolved JENKINS-20327). See there for a solution. - You'll need to upgrade some plugins that use core API that has been removed in 1.577 if you haven't already. Email-ext is probably the most prominent one. - Then there's a new feature since 1.566 that by default lowercases all user names on disk, so if you have users named 'Foo', 'FOO', and 'foo', only one of them will be left after the upgrade. This should not make changes to permissions assignments necessary though. - If you're using the Jenkins REST API, prepare to have quite a bit of spam in your jenkins.log since 1.577. This'll be reduced in the future again.
