I hope to be using the latest release of Makelangelo Code.
At GitHub I notice that the “front” page version says 7.1.3 (Hotfix) (Updated 9 hours ago)
When I click on the release versions, there is a 7.2.1 alpha, and 7.2.2 alpha “Once more with feeling”
These have the “Pre-release” designation.
I assume that selecting the front page version is always the way to go, and the other parts are where “magic” is happening for those with coding skills.
I can’t get 7.1.3 to run only 7.1.1
latest branch is supposed to be the last stable release (mostly nearly bug free).
pre-release are there for early adopters (eg you) to check that the latest issues are fixed. Sadly, these are issues I can’t reproduce on my system, so we have to play this strange game of tennis where I put out a new version and you tell me if it goes or not.
when we get one that goes OK I will push that same code out again as an official release and even update the master branch. that way the master branch latest and the release latest are one and the same.
