We’re planning to introduce a new versioning system for Discourse. Our goal is to provide more choice & predictability for community administrators, while maintaining our development velocity. We’re also adjusting some terminology to align better with other software. This document will evolve as we…

Hi @simonk , thanks for raising those points! We’ve actually been discussing both those things today internally. The old beta and latest-release tags should be aliases of release release should be tracking the latest commit of release/2025.11 Working on getting that fixed up right now.
