It took me until now to realize that there was a stable channel and that I need to edit the config to upgrade to it. I see an upgrade option to 3.0.0.beta16 now for my sites. If I set to the stable release now and upgrade will it go to 3.0.0.beta16 and then eventually 3.0.0 stable?

Can you explain why you believe you need to swap to stable?

I’m not sure why one would ever need a reason to run stable software. I just want less updates and stable software.

[изображение] Justin: If I set to the stable release now and upgrade will it go to 3.0.0.beta16 and then eventually 3.0.0 stable? I don’t think so. If you change to stable, you’ll only update to major releases, and 3.0.0 hasn’t been released yet. The last stable release was 2.8.0 (you can see…

Thanks for the info! I know he wasn’t trying to be funny, it’s just wasn’t looking to discuss reasoning, just info on when to upgrade to move to stable. I’ll keep updating while it says and switch as soon as I see 3.0.0 hit stable.

[изображение] Justin: and switch as soon as I see 3.0.0 hit stable. Be aware that the release of the major release, AFAIK, on a tests-passed branch is accompanied by the release of n+1.beta1, so if you want to avoid the word “beta” in your version, you should switch to it just before updating…

So for instance I’m on 2.9.0.beta14 now. I should switch the branch in my config to stable and then just wait for 3.0.0 to show in my /admin section and it will only show updates to stable releases from that point on? When I change the config file do I have to restart the docker container?

You can change the app.yml now. You’ll need to wait until the release to run another command line upgrade. It’s not clear how many more beta releases there will be before a new stable is released. Stable means fewer updates, but not necessarily fewer bugs. It requires a bit more expertise to run st…

A good explanation of stable vs test-passed: [изображение] Is Discourse always in "beta"? support There’s a good explanation of the branches we use here: So Discourse is in a perpetual beta state, meaning that we’re always working on new features and refinement. In our …

I must admit I do feel pressured and confused by the update notification in the admin page. It is rather abrupt about telling me I should update immediately, but it tells me to update to beta software. It’s rather contradictory. I feel it should let the user know there’s an update, but only be push…

[изображение] Justin: but only be pushing the user to update ASAP if there’s a security issue or critical bug in their current build. That is exactly what is going on, when a new beta comes out, there is (almost always) a serious security issue that triggers the new version. [изображение] …

Is now the best time to upgrade to a stable release?
