    It would be great to see;

    • The ability to install beta versions of apps if they are available.
    • The ability to install 1-2 older versions before the lastest version.

    We find from time to time even stable releases can have issues that might prevent apps from not working as they should or performance issues.

    From time to time we will hold off from upgrading to a major release until we test or see that it is clear of issues. Being able to install beta versions can help with this but also help us to train staff on future major releases.

    Not just that it also helps us to know if to hold off using an app until a future release.

    Also maybe in addition the ability to install slightly older versions of an app. This can help with the latest stable versions that may have a big show-stopping bug, this way you can install the version before they fix or patch that version.

    These is just one of the examples that could help people install and test apps.

      @mhgcic said in Version Types - Beta/Stable - Version Numbering:

      The ability to install beta versions of apps if they are available.

      It's unlikely we will have this in near future. The time spent to support beta versions of apps across the 100s of packages we have is too much for us, atleast right now.

      The ability to install 1-2 older versions before the lastest version.

      This one is already possible:

      • Click on the app you want to install
      • On the browser bar, you have to change the package version
      • To determine the correct package version that you need, you have to look into the git repo . All packages are opensource at https://git.cloudron.io/cloudron/<appname>-app.git (For example, https://git.cloudron.io/cloudron/nextcloud-app.git). Look for the CHANGELOG.md file in each repo. That will tell you the package version for the corresponding upstream app version.

        Thanks that's really helpful.
