How to know whether a release is / was a stable release?

[petefoth]

There used to be a 'Downloads` page which listed the latest 'stable' releases of the microG components (https://microg.org/dl/ or maybe https://microg.org/download.html). That page has not been available since the July web site outage, and current download links lead either to the Downloads Wiki page https://github.com/microg/GmsCore/wiki/Downloads, or to the GitHub releases page https://github.com/microg/GmsCore/releases.

Until recently, I believe that the GitHub releases pages marked beta versions as 'pre-release` and stable versions as 'latest' but this no longer seems to be the case. And yesterday the 0.3.10 release changed from being marked as 'pre-release' to 'latest'. So 2 questions:

1. Is 0.3.10 now regraded as Stable, rather than beta / pre-release?
2. How can we find out whether new releases are stable or beta? (Same question applies to old releases - was a release stabe or beta - though it is less important / interesting.

There were a previous discussion were Marvin said that new releases are marked as pre-release for some days then if there aren't serious issues they are marked as stable.

Thanks for that.

So we (LOS for microG project) will just pull the latest version from github unless it is marked 'pre-release`. That works for us :)

Sad that there is no easy way (that I know of) of checking which versions were stable and which were beta releases. Fr example, I don't recall that 0.3.8 was ever considered or marked stable, (and I seem to remember that, until recently it was marked as pre-release). And I know that all releases after 0.2.27 and before 0.3.6 were beta / pre-release. But there is no indication of that on the releases pages. Have I missed something, or do I have to rely on my memory from now on? 🙂

It was discussed on #3106
Quote of my message: versions 0.3.8 / 0.3.9 were released when the website and the F-Droid repository were down, so they were probably forgotten.

About this, we should ask @mar-v-in
