Version confusion
Hello,
can you please help me understand the version situation?
From softether web site, I see 4.42 as latest stable, but GitHub lists v 5.0.2 and my Debian 12 finds version 5.0.1.
Thank you!

Re: Version confusion

Re: Version confusion
That is a sort of a beta version?
Isn't there any point where it is clear that V5 is DE?
Isn't that odd that Debian 12 does not default to stable edition?

Re: Version confusion
If DE is not a Beta, then what is it?
I already have v5 in my Debina and it seems odd: I always knew Debian uses stable versions

Re: Version confusion
A Developer Edition is just what it says, it's for developers to test their builds and get it ready for beta release, a beta version is not the final release and it's for testing that version for it to become a 'released version'.

Re: Version confusion
Do you think DE is safe enough? Or should I switch to SE on my server?

Re: Version confusion
Ok, do you know how to switch to SE on Debian with APT?

Re: Version confusion
Should I remove DE first with APT?
Will the configuration be preserved and will it be valid for SE?
Thank you!!

Re: Version confusion
And I find it odd that Debain 12 defaults to Dev Edition.

Re: Version confusion
No need to reinstall others since you can run the binary file in the path/location your unzip/untar it
But make sure SE dev has stopped by
- vpnserver stop
- systemctl stop SE-SERVICE-NAME
