Release versions

There are two versions of the platform releases:

• stable version of the softwares;
• regular version of the software.

Based on the results of testing, additional fixes and improvements are made to the stable version to optimize the performance of the software.

The regular versions include all functionality updates, but are less stable than the stable versions. Most of the features released in the regular versions are refined and then included in future stable versions.

The list of version changes is published on ISPsystem website.
