User willie is seeking help to update their Discourse version from 3.4.0.beta3-dev to the stable version 3.2.5. However, pfaffman advises that downgrading to a previous version is not possible and inquires about the reason for the desired change. Firepup650 intervenes, citing the Discourse recommendation to follow the default “tests-passed” branch, which is considered production-ready and not necessarily less stable than the “stable” branch. RGJ clarifies that the distinction between “stable” and “tests-passed” is more about the lack of change rather than the lack of bugs.
Hello everyone,
I’m new to this and would really appreciate help from those with experience.
Currently, I’m running version 3.4.0.beta3-dev, and I’d like to update to a more stable version, specifically this one: Discourse 3.2.5 → GitHub - discourse/discourse at 9ed203ed8cdc185c179b87620f1739955f20e825 · GitHub
Any guidance on how to proceed would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you in advance!
You cannot. If you want to switch to stable you’ll need to wait until stable is a version beyond the version you are on now.
Why do you want to change to that version?
Just a reminder that “stable” is no more stable than the default “tests-passed” branch:
This is not about stable as opposed to unstable but stable as opposed to changing.
