Please, make sure you have:

# Stable images
- stable receives security updates - high stability
**update process:**
1. after 6,7,8,9,10 (to be defined) months a freeze in development -> beta.armbian.com
1. the community does tests of the BETA (2 weeks), (still freeze in dev) report bugs
1. bugfixes period for 3 weeks = ReleaseClient-1
1. the community does test RC1 (2 weeks), (still freeze in dev) report bugs
1. another round as in 4. or ready for stable release update
rollout of the new release:
Only one SBC per SoC receives the update (ie. OPi Zero H2+ | OPi PC H3 | BPi A20 etc.) for one week. We get information on different-update-scenario's (from us untested situations) and SBC usage, diverse/unforeseen feedback.
**mainline**: headless server, light desktop operations
