How releases are named

Remotle versions are named by build date and time in UTC: 2026-10-16-1016 was built on 16 October 2026 at 10:16. The Windows client, Mac client, Linux client and Computle (Remotle) Host of one version are built together and share its name.

Channel	Who receives it	Where it is set
Stable	Everyone, by default. Released builds only.	Settings, Preferences, Updates
Beta	Release candidates, ahead of Stable.	Settings, Preferences, Updates

To see which version you have, open Settings, About. Windows checks for updates each time it opens and offers a new version on the machine list; every platform can check from About. See Updates for the client and Host Updates for the workstation. Every update is verified before it installs; see Security.

The notes are written by the engineers who made each change and are published exactly as written. They say what works in that version. A release with no notes listed carried changes that are not visible to users.
