Cpanel Release Tiers
Cpanel Release Tiers
cPanel has released publicly in 4 tiers:
* STABLE
* RELEASE
* CURRENT
* EDGE
This scheme allows rapid development and quick availability of new versions of cPanel & WHM. Server admins can select a cPanel & WHM tier.
STABLE Has received considerable public exposure, testing, and verification. Published least frequently.
RELEASE Similar to STABLE, but has received slightly less testing. Updated more often than STABLE. New installations default to RELEASE. Published more frequently than STABLE.
CURRENT Tested and verified, but may not contain all proposed functionality of a release. Similar to the “release candidate” tier used under other publication schemes.
EDGE Has received only rudimentary testing. Features are subject to further modification. Usually lacks official public documentation.
Due to the dynamic nature of EDGE builds, you should only use EDGE for compatibility and functionality testing in a controlled environment. Do not use the EDGE tier on production servers.
