Logos has two update channels, beta and _stable_. These 'channels' (actually RSS feeds) tell your Logos software when a new version is available. The _*stable*_ channel contains details for Gold release and Service Releases only. The *beta* channel contains details for beta and release candidates (RC), may include service release (if no public Beta available). These tables illustrate recent versions in beta and _stable_ channels:
