Hi @rlev

In the github repo there are versions as a result of constantly developing for these boards.

But the version that you see in the home page or the Balena dashboard are the versions that reached production.

For a version to reach production it needs to go to our test suite. So the versions that you see in github probably work fine but were not fully tested by us.

Regards!

@spanceac

Does the versions in the BalenaOS homepage are guaranteed to work with latest openbalena backend software?
