Are ASM Attack Signature Updates Cummulative?

If I install the latest attack signature update file, but have missed doing so for the previous 10 updates, will this latest file install all the previous releases? Or, do I have to go back and manually load all of those 10 previous files?

 

If I do need to manually load those 10 previous updates, would I need to start off with oldest first and work my way towards the latest?
