The Logos 5 Beta Program

Towards the end of a development cycle, Logos will release a new build, which they think is stable enough for daily use - a release candidate (RC).  If no significant bugs are found in release candidate after a short period (a few days), Logos will make that release available to everyone (often referred to as 'Gold').  If bugs are found, they'll be fixed in a new release candidate (RC2), and the process continues until no more significant bugs are found.  Service releases (SR) fix significant bu (…)

!! Understanding update channels

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:
