I noticed that every now and then my Discourse site send me an email telling that a new version is available to install, but every time the version is “x.y.z.beta something”, so I’d like to know: is Discourse always some “beta” version? Is it good to install in a production environment (i.e. to serv…

You can’t swap to stable until it catches up. Discourse doesn’t support downgrades. A better question is: why would you want to? Stable isn’t as widely used, the focus for development is on tests-passed. Assuming you aren’t blindly upgrading a production site, and are testing each upgrade prior t…

[Bild] Stephen: the focus for development is on tests-passed. Sorry, this must be somekind language barrier matter-issue, but does the focus mean development of Discourse itself and how branches are build everybody else is doing mostly development of Discourse First one means that producti…

[Bild] Jagster: First one means that production sites that have focus to functional and stable forum should use test-passed . We run tests-passed in production on our hosting. It’s 100% meant for production sites. [Bild] Jagster: But when the first guess is right, why there is stable -br…

That’s not entirely true. There are many bugfixes backported to stable.

Well, that’s quite true I’m sure. But hypebole is the best thing ever!

[Bild] RGJ: There are many bugfixes backported to stable. True, the showstopper ones. Smaller bugs are not.

It would be good if there were a choice in the general instructions, sort of like LibreOffice download choices or Debian. I am hosting the site on DO but my co-owner was originally from discoursehosting.net as a subdomain, and he sees all of this maintenance and say “Why don’t we just use discours…

[Bild] bksubhuti: … my co-owner was originally from discoursehosting.net as a subdomain, and he sees all of this maintenance and say “Why don’t we just use discourse hosting?” I told him that we have our own name, server, higher tier plugins (like emoji likes and google sign in), and other thin…

The original issue was to request provide a stable build option in the github install instructions . I see that you provide stable releases for your customers. Perhaps you can kindly explain how to clone and install a stable release? That was also my original question. As a small and semi-private…
