Upgrades

Rolling upgrades from a Mesos 1.2.0 cluster to Mesos 1.2.1 are straightforward. Please refer to the upgrade guide for detailed information on upgrading to Mesos 1.2.1 from 1.1.x or 1.0.x.

NOTE: In Mesos 1.2.1, the master will no longer allow 0.x agents to register. Interoperability between 1.1+ masters and 0.x agents has never been supported; however, it was not explicitly disallowed, either. Starting with this release of Mesos, registration attempts by 0.x Mesos agents will be ignored.
