Releases & Rollback¶

We maintain stable, manually tested releases for safe production use.

Finding stable releases¶

• GitHub Releases: all stable releases are tagged and published on GitHub Releases
• Latest tagged version: the most recent stable version is marked as "Latest Release"
• Changelog: see CHANGELOG.md for detailed change history

Version policy¶

• Tags vX.Y.Z: stable releases (e.g. v3.4.1)
• Tags with a suffix (e.g. v4.0.0-beta.3): pre-releases; the installer does not list them, main carries the latest (a Git clone checks out the tag)
• main branch: the quick installer's default: the latest 4.x, ahead of the last tag by the fixes made since (Upgrading to 4.0)
• Testing: all stable releases are manually tested before tagging

Rolling back to a stable version¶

If you encounter bugs in a newer version:

Option 1: the quick installer (recommended)

Close CODESYS, clear a branch selection and run the installer from main; its menu lists the stable releases and installs the one chosen:

Remove-Item Env:CTS_BRANCH -ErrorAction SilentlyContinue

Option 2: a Git clone of the program

Check out the release tag (git tag lists them, e.g. git checkout v3.4.1), then follow the installation steps of that version's own docs/install.md: older releases install differently from the current one.
