[QUOTE="davegson, post: 961085, member: 92101"] Wording can be a bit confusing. The Portmaster [I]software[/I] generally is in [ICODE]alpha[/ICODE], and will only migrate into [ICODE]beta[/ICODE] once we achieved our goals for it (overall stability & better clarity for users). However, the [I]releases[/I] of the Portmaster use standard release vocabulary: - the [B][ICODE]stable[/ICODE][/B] release channel (default) always grabs the latest stable release - the [B][ICODE]beta[/ICODE][/B] release channel is used for testing features before all our users get them. I assume this community overlaps a lot with our beta testers. We just went over [URL='https://github.com/safing/portmaster/releases']the GitHub releases[/URL] to make things clearer in that regard. Now the current [ICODE]stable[/ICODE] release - v0.6.22 as of today - is marked as "Latest release" on GitHub, while [ICODE]beta[/ICODE] releases are marked as "Pre-release". Hope that makes sense. As of the next [ICODE]stable[/ICODE] release, it should happen in the next two weeks. The v0.7 series includes a [I]much better[/I] monitoring UX, lots of stuff in regards to the [URL='https://safing.io/spn/']SPN[/URL] and a plenty of bug fixes as well. Naturally you can easily grab features early by [URL='https://docs.safing.io/portmaster/settings#core/releaseChannel']switching your Release Channel[/URL]. Glad to hear your positivity! 😁 doing our best to push things forward. Honestly, the next months will be exciting. SPN development got beyond the "big chunk" which now allows us to take things more iteratively and hence faster I assume. We shall see. Have a good one everyone! [/QUOTE]
