October 2013 CU for SharePoint 2010 has been released

The product group released the October 2013 Cumulative Update for the SharePoint 2010 product family.

Be aware that the October Cumulative Update for SharePoint 2010 is a Post-SP1 hotfix. That means that you should ensure that SP1 is installed before the October CU.

The KB articles for October CU are availabe at the following locations:

• KB 2825824 - SharePoint Foundation 2010

• KB 2825786 - SharePoint Server 2010

• KB 2825793 - SharePoint Server 2010 with Project Server

• As you see there is a separate Full Server Package for SharePoint Server 2010 with Project Server which simplifies patching of this common installation.

• Download SharePoint Foundation 2010 October 2013 CU

• Download SharePoint Server 2010 October 2013 CU

• Download SharePoint Server 2010 with Project Server October 2013 CU 

• After installing the fixes you need to run the SharePoint 2010 Products Configuration Wizard on each machine in the farm.

That means only one package has to be installed for the SharePoint 2010 product family.

The Full Server Packages for October 2013 CU are available through the following links:

Be aware that the SharePoint Server 2010 CU contains the SharePoint Foundation CU. And the SharePoint Server 2010 with Project Server CU contains Project Server CU, SharePoint Server CU and SharePoint Foundation CU.
