As we know Offensive security always released a newer version of Kali Linux.  The newer version fixes bugs and the latest kernel, latest tools, and sometimes adds new tools.  There are two terms update and upgrade. In update, advanced package tool (APT)  fetched headers data of available tools on the repository and saved into a local drive.
