The latest +release from this branch is `1.0.6`. + +Older versions are no longer supported. This currently affects the initial +development versions with major version `0` (`0.1` up to `0.9.2`). It is likely +that support for `1.0.x` will also be dropped once a new minor version is +released. + # Getting and Building the Source Code Official release tarballs can be obtained here: https://infraroot.at/pub/squashfs +In between patch level releases, bug fixes are continuously published as +individual patch files in `fixes-<version>` directories. + The official git tree is available at the following locations: https://github.com/AgentD/squashfs-tools-ng |
