That's what I was trying to find out.  OK, it is there on the FPP page if you either really hunt for it, or know where it is.

https://github.com/FalconChristmas/fpp/releases  Click on the word assets if no releases are listed.

Thanks for the link.  I will bookmark that.  And good tip on the word assets.  I did find that eventually and there were no assets listed - unlike the screen capture that Poporacer posted.  It was not obvious that you needed to click on that - it does not show as a link until you hover over it..

I have been using fpp since 2017 (I think) so a lot of upgrades.  Every year after Christmas is shut down I switch to the Master branch and as far as I can remember, have never done an fppos - nor had any instructions to do so for that switch.  Because my matrix panels are hanging available for testing all off-season, they get updated regularly within the Master Branch, and stuff gets tested.  In a few cases specific tests from either the LOR or fpp developers - I am one of the very few fpp matrix users driving panels from LOR that is available for testing during the off-season, and I'm happy to test stuff.  And sometimes stuff I want to test.  Sometime in October or November, I switch to whatever the production release is for that year - normally via a new image burn in the early days or an fppos in the past few years.

Normally the only time I touch GitHub is a specific link for a new production version.

Yeah, there is really no way to indicate that, sorry for the confusion. That is why it is covered in the Manual.

And the community appreciates it! Thank you.

Now you know that when things switch to a new major release, that you might have to upgrade the OS

Because of a planned rebuild / reconfiguration of my matrix panels this year, I will be loading fpp onto two brand new RasPis sometime in the next week or two (I really need to get moving on that project - parts arrived a week or so ago).  Of course those will be new µSD card image and I now know where to get the latest as they will almost certainly start off in Master Branch. 

Now I just need to have Dan have time to update one of the plugins that we talked about a couple weeks ago...  Please...

ArtNet advanced Features
Currently the only way to select what sequence to play is by the Hour.  That limits you to 23 sequences.  He and I discussed it a week or two ago and he has an easy fix and a much harder fix.  The easy fix would solve the problem.  He will have to see if he has time.

And with a smile, Dan has updated the ArtNet plugin and the hooks for that in the Master branch.  I did go back to Master Branch and this time I did the fppos to get there and then updated...  Working well.

So I will say it publicly:  Thank You Dan!
