Latest release and version history overview

Hello,
I cloned librem5-flash-image. Running

./scripts/librem5-flash-image

tells me

2024-07-23 17:23:44 INFO Looking for librem5r4 luks byzantium image
2024-07-23 17:24:03 ERROR No matching image found

With --stable, it works and tells me

2024-07-23 17:25:11 INFO Looking for librem5r4 luks byzantium image
2024-07-23 17:25:12 INFO Found disk image Build "stable" 'Last stable librem5r4 build' from Fri Jun 23 22:21:40 2023
2024-07-23 17:25:14 INFO Found uboot Build 85 from Thu Aug 25 15:22:41 2022

Is the latest version of PureOS really one year old now? Is there maybe a testing branch?

No, the Byzantium image being fetched from storage.puri.sm has an old timestamp:

There are a few newer Byzantium images with LUKS, but by default they are not fetched by the script:

Crimson and Dawn are the rolling releases of PureOS, and the latter is currently targeted at the landing repository/suite for the Librem 5, with the former having an image build on Jenkins:

There is also the octarine repository and various debug repositories as well:

Is it possible, that updating from the 2023-version finally gives the same system like by installing the latest release?

Yes, there is a simple command to update PureOS:

sudo apt update && sudo apt upgrade
