 -----------
+===== Remember to patch =====
+  * RADIUSdesk is under active development and sometimes we add SQL patches.
+  * The SQL patches are located under **/var/www/html/cake4/rd_cake/setup/db/**.
+  * These patches are non-destructive and you can run them against the database
+  * See the example below
+<code bash>
+sudo mysql -u root rd < /var/www/html/cake4/rd_cake/setup/db/8.068_add_email_sms_histories.sql
+</code>
+  * Some of these patches may add new columns to existing database tables.
+  * In this case, it is recommended to clear the CakePHP models (tables) cache to ensure that the latest changes are also applied there:
+<code bash>
+sudo su
+cd /var/www/html/cake4/rd_cake/tmp/cache/models
+rm *
+exit
