Hello.
In version V3.5 SP17 the approach to updating CODESYS has changed.
In this regard I have two questions:
What is the formal difference between Releases and Prereleases delivery update channels. Can you elaborate and use an example to explain them?
Will the new SP include the latest plugins versions on the day of release? Or after installing the latest SP I will need to download the latest versions of the plugins manually?
To my knowledge the prerelease channel is currently not used.
The next SP will include the latest version of the Addons, which are released at the time of the creation of the branch for this SP. This is normally around 6 weeks before the release date for a full SP.
For patches it may very well happen that a Addon is released and the latest version is not included in the patch.
For all of this the CODESYS Installer is the way to go.
Best regards,
Marcel

Thank you for answers.
I hope that after the launch of the "Prereleases" channel CODESYS Group will publish information about the principles of its work.

There is also this hitepaper in the online help:
https://help.codesys.com/webapp/_cds_codesys_modularization;product=codesys;version=3.5.17.0
Yep, I read it.
But there is no information from the post m.prestel and it doesn't explain what the "Prerelease" channel is about.
