It's very important to stay up to date. Not only do you get bugs fixed, but most importantly you get any necessary security fixes.

These are always fixed as quickly as possible and an update released. Furthermore, strictly speaking, we can only support the current version. This article explains the various options open to you for updating your board.
It should be noted that your users, posts, PMs etc will all be safe. They are in the database and you are primarily updating the files.
