* [/browser/xpra/tags/v0.15.x v0.15.x] - the current release, will be supported until 0.16 comes out.
* [/browser/xpra/trunk trunk] - the current development version (will become 0.16).

Fixes are almost always committed to trunk before landing in other branches, you can find a list of the currently [/wiki/Versions/PendingFixes pending fixes here].

{{{#!div class="box"
== Compatibility ==

Versions older than 0.14 are '''not''' supported. Please complain to your distributor for not updating a package with known bugs and vulnerabilities (more info here: [/wiki/Packaging]).

You can mix versions between the clients and servers, as long as they are reasonably up to date:
* v0.14.x is compatible with versions 0.7.8 onwards. (it may or may not work with earlier versions)
* v0.15.x is compatible with versions 0.12.6 onwards.
* trunk will be compatible with 0.14.x onwards (it may or may not be compatible with earlier versions)

== Binaries ==

{{{#!div class="box"
== Release Schedule ==

The release schedule varies, versions are shipped when they are ready...

That said, the delay between 0.14 and 0.15 was far too long, we are trying to target a 3 months release cycle.
