Community version means testing version ?

Ah, yes … You are running /e/OS on your device and want to give info about your version to get support, or a simple answer to a question, or anybody else to confirm whether they can observe the same behaviour you observe? Sure … Your device will …

hi @dcu, welcome to this forum.

@dcu

is S means stable ? and T is Testing ?
S use lineage19.x and T use lineage20.x

Q is for Quince tart (android 10) LineageOS 17.1
R is for Red velvet cake (android 11) LineageOS 18.1
S is for Snow Cone (android 12) LineageOS 19.1
T is for Tiramisu (android 13) LineageOS 20
U is for ??? (android 14) LineageOS 21

That are Android version native codenames

@dcu

Community version means testing version ?

“Community” is builds for supported devices not solded by Murena

@dcu

T is going to be S at some point ?

no it is inverse

@dcu

If i wait, i will get android 13 stable on my device ? or i’m stuck on S based on android 12 ?

there are OTA upgrades for most “Official” devices solded by Murena

what is your device, build installed ?

Hi,
Thanks for this, this help a lot
R, S, T, are names from Android versions from google,

so for my avicii phone, i’m running on latest stable 1.20-S (12)

1.20-T is a DEV build (13)
e-1.20-t-20240221382228-dev-avicii.zip

Official here means the last Android released from vendor for that device,
Community means a build from /e/os for a device compatible but not sold by murena.

So a community release can be a stable release if flagged with -stable- in filename…

should we get a notification when T will be flagged stable in the update tool ?

Is there a way to check the blocking points for T preventing a -stable- release for avicii ?

recently (last week) names used in documentation have changed :

previously called official “stable” builded by /e/ server-infrastructure become “Official” as for the “Official Murena devices” that are or were solded by Murena web site
previously called official “dev” builded by /e/ server-infrastructure become “Community” as for the others supported devices that can be used by the “Community members”

i have no information about previously called official “test” builded by /e/ server-infrastructure

“UNOFFICIAL” are builded by individual /e/ users from the community (without code modifications)
“CUSTOM” are builded by individual /e/ users from the community (with some code modifications)

@dcu

should we get a notification when T will be flagged stable in the update tool ?

yes, some days after the release.
