Hi after a recent update I find my kstars is at 3.6.2 beta. I only ever use stable version.
Is this a problem with the apt repo or intentional ?
I am using this one:

deb ppa.launchpad.net/mutlaqja/ppa/ubuntu focal main

It looks like tjhe beta version has been uploaded to the stable repo:

apt list | grep kstars

kstars-bleeding-data/focal,focal,now 6:3.6.2+202211160926~ubuntu20.04.1 all [installed,automatic]
kstars-bleeding-dbg/focal,now 6:3.6.2+202211160926~ubuntu20.04.1 amd64 [installed,automatic]

cat mutlaqja-ppa-focal.list

I believe I have done the same and can't seem to get 1.9.8 back. All indi drivers keep crashing.

I believe this was intentional. I just read a post from Jasem to say that 3.6.2 is in final check before release and beta version was uploaded to stable repo. See reply #88192:

"Can you check in KStars 3.6.2 Beta? I pushed this now to the INDI Stable channel since we are in testing period now for 2 weeks before final release." Jasem Mutlaq

I'm sorry... did you say a BETA version was being forced out on the stable platform?
If so, that is sheer stupidity at a base level.
A developer should NEVER push out ANY beta product in a stable channel. Not even a "RC" (release candidate) should be put on ANY stable channel of software. They should have an existing infrastructure of BETA testers that participate in the testing.
I know that I personally have lost many hours of capturing because an update was pushed out in the "stable" channel and was not apparently tested. And no, I'm not a programmer, but I've helped with BETA testing software as far back as the VERY early 90's, and even back then, you did NOT push out any BETA code into the stable product line (especially if dealing with a paid for product like StellarMate OS).

Does anybody know if there is any way to go back and can anybody else confirm that this "not-so-stable" branch is crashing when it loads Indi drivers? I show that my indi-full version is 1.9.9+ as well which I believe is the big problem here.

All of them. Except for simulators.

Hi,

for my side, this beta version runs perfectly with my setup. I have run it all the night like a charm. It solved an issue with the altitude limit field disabled in the Mount module.

Only one thing, at the end of my session, In Guiding module,I tried the new feature "intra-frame dark guiding". The first time I enabled it, Kstars freezed and eventually crashed. After restart Kstars and Ekos with the same profile, this guiding mode could be enabled without crash, and seems to be pretty efficient for my guiding. This happens at my session end, and I have spent only 10 minutes of guiding.

On my lenovo, linux mint 21, ubuntu 22.04
