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](https://github.com/discourse/discourse/tree/9ed203ed8cdc185c179b87620f1739955f20e825)

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:

> [@3.3.2: Security and maintenance release](https://meta.discourse.org/t/3-3-2-security-and-maintenance-release/329341/1):
>
> Discourse strongly recommends that all sites follow the default tests-passed branch of Discourse. The “stable” branch is more focused on _lack of change_ than _lack of bugs_ - all releases, including those on tests-passed and beta are production ready.

This is not about stable as opposed to _unstable_ but stable as opposed to _changing_.
