What are channels?

We release Preview builds to you through channels, which are each designed to bring you a different experience. When choosing a channel, you should keep in mind how stable you need your work environment to be , what level of issues you can handle, how early in development you'd like to see features and changes, and whether or not you need support.

• Release channel: This is the stable software release. It's updated roughly every 2–3 months.
  Release channel is available in the main download page.
• Beta channel: The Beta Channel is perfect for early adopters who want to see what's next or to validate the latest Banana updates and features, but still need reliable updates that are validated by Microsoft.
  Your feedback will be especially important here, since it will help our engineers make sure that key issues are fixed before major releases. Currently there is no Beta channel.

• Dev channel:The Dev Channel is perfect for advanced users who love to be the first to see the latest features and updates .

  You'll be seeing builds directly from the active development branch in the Dev Channel, so they aren't matched to a specific release. This means that these builds may simply be the latest work-in-progress code from our engineers. New features and improvements in this channel will show up in future releases when they're ready.

Decide what channel to use

You decide what channel to use by installing the version you need.

• Download the installer file and execute the software on your computer.
• The installation will preserve your accounting files, settings and licenses.
• On your computer you can only have one channel at a time.
• The installation of a different channel will overwrite the existing one. 
• The channel is displayed on the application title bar.
  In Help menu  > About Banana Accounting Plus you get the full release information and expiration date.
• We remind you that it is always important to backup your files. Especially when using the Beta and Dev channels.
