Box Versioning

Box Versioning

Since Vagrant 1.5, boxes support versioning. This allows the people who make boxes to push updates to the box, and the people who use the box have a simple workflow for checking for updates, updating their boxes, and seeing what has changed.

If you are just getting started with Vagrant, box versioning is not too important, and we recommend learning about some other topics first. But if you are using Vagrant on a team or plan on creating your own boxes, versioning is very important. Luckily, having versioning built right in to Vagrant makes it easy to use and fit nicely into the Vagrant workflow.

This page will cover how to use versioned boxes. It does not cover how to update your own custom boxes with versions. That is covered in creating a base box.
