Question on beta and reverting to stable

General
1

Hello,
I've been thinking about using the beta version of NodeRed, but I still have some questions about it:

  • If I have the beta and something doesn't work, how easy is it to switch back?
  • Does the beta have some other flow file format or can I use my existing files and switch back and forth between stable and beta?

Thanks for your help
Aaron

The beta is pretty stable at this point. A couple minor UX bugs to fix, but nothing significant.

Switching back is straightforward; you run the same npm install command but with @latest rather than @next.

There are no breaking changes between the releases.

@knolleary thank you, I've updated to the beta and didn't notice any bugs since then
