Latest release: Octopus 14.0 (2024-03-12)

All releases:

Each stable release is identified by two numbers (for example x.y). The first number indicates a particular version of Octopus and the second one the release. Before the 6.0 release (2016) Octopus used a three-number scheme, with the first two numbers being the version and the third one the release.

An increase in the revision number indicates that this release contains bug fixes and minor changes over the previous version, but that no new features were added (it may happen that we disable some features that are found to contain serious bugs).

Development versions (that you can get from the git repository) do not have a version number, they only have a code name. For code names we use the scientific names of Octopus species. These are the code names that we have used so far (this scheme was started after the release of version 3.2):

You can also get the development version (tehuelchus) from Gitlab.
