What is the latest version of calimero-server?

[lukasvermeer]

Hello,

I am running the calimeroproject/knxserver:latest-armv7 tag from Dockerhub. The logs tell me that this is "Calimero KNX IP Server v2.6-SNAPSHOT". However this Github project suggests the latest release is actually 2.5.1, which seems contradictory. What is the latest release? Is the Dockerhub image up to date?

I am also facing some issues getting the server up and connecting to it from ETS, but I want to make sure I am running the latest version before I open any issues about those problems. Thanks.

Best regards,
Lukas

Hello,
2.5.1 is the latest release, but it's not on Dockerhub. The 2.6 snapshot image is newer than the 2.5 one.

What are the issues you have?

Clear. Thanks! 👍

I guess that means the 2.6 snapshot is ahead of the latest "official" release. When I encounter problems, should I use the snapshot or try to revert to the latest release instead?

I have opened a separate issue #15 for the specific problems I have encountered, because that is a different question and so that it is easier to find in case someone else encounters the same problems.

Use the snapshots. For runtime purposes, they are in general not less stable than releases. The snapshot means that a new snapshot with the same version can have modifications which affect APIs, internals, features, dependencies (i.e., developer stuff), which of course is not the case in releases, where only (more serious) bugs are fixed.

Btw., the reason there is no recent armv7 upload is that the combination alpine/musl/armv7/jdk17+ does not work the way I assembled the previous one (that's why the x64 latest is newer than arm). 2.5.1 would still work, but not make a difference for your case anyway.

Super clear. Thank you. I will keep using the Dockerhub armv7 snapshot.
