Stable vs. latest risk assessment

Re: Stable channel update date
Hi, is the "latest" channel tested or more of a beta? ...or to ask differently: is it safe to assume "latest" will not take down a productive server farm, or would we have to stay on stable to get maximum protection from heart attacks?

Hi,
When using XOA, every release will be tested extensively. The main different is that stable got 1 extra month of feedback from around 30% of our total number of users.
So no,
latestisn't a beta at all. A beta would be for example themasterbranch on the sources (since there's no release in there, it's a kind of perpetual beta).It's an extra safety in case something slipped through our testing, because you have an extra month to realize there's a problem in some very specific cases. It's also useful for us when we want to debug a recent issue, we can tell the user to go back and forth to the 2 channels, to see if there's a diff.
Finally, at Vates, for our own production infrastructure: we rely on
latest, because we want to immediately test the new features

@olivierlambert Thanks Olivier, perfect explanation and also good that there is a way back by switching the channel. Will live the "latest" life from here on out
