## Where is the latest firmware?
## Where is the latest version?
The **latest (nightly) release** can be found [here](https://github.com/eried/portapack-mayhem/releases/).
The current **stable release** is on the [![GitHub release (latest by date)](https://img.shields.io/github/v/release/eried/portapack-mayhem?label=Releases&style=social)](https://github.com/eried/portapack-mayhem/releases/latest) page. Follow the instructions you can find in the release description.
## Is this the newest firmware for my PortaPack?
Most probably: **YES**. *If you find new features somewhere else, please [suggest](https://github.com/eried/portapack-mayhem/issues/new?labels=enhancement&template=feature_request.md) them*.
## Which one is actually the newest?
There is a lot of confusion of which is the latest version because no old version used any actual "version number". Additionally, since the files were distributed on facebook groups, github issue links and similar temporal sources, then there was no central location for them.
This fork (**Mayhem**) uses *major.minor.release* [semantic versioning](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Software_versioning), so you can always compare your current version with the latest from [Releases](https://github.com/eried/portapack-mayhem/releases/latest).
## What about Havoc/GridRF/jamesshao8/jboone's?
* jboone's PortaPack: the [vanilla](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vanilla_software) experience
* Havoc: It was the most popular fork of jboone's PortaPack, currrently, it is not being maintained nor updated
* jamesshao8: He keeps his own version of the fork, while not attached as a fork to anything. Latest functions do not follow the license and are not being published with source code, so keep this in mind
* GridRF: They sell PortaPack clones with their own firmware based on a old version, which has no sourcecode available
The current **stable release** is on the [![GitHub release (latest by date)](https://img.shields.io/github/v/release/eried/portapack-mayhem?label=Releases&style=social)](https://github.com/eried/portapack-mayhem/releases/latest) page.
