This article lists in concise tabular format all MX releases starting at build 3045, the first with significant updates. | |||
Mark Crossley brought MX out of the beta development with build 3050, but the preceding few builds contained important changes they are worth including here. | |||
The very first version 3.0.0 build by Mark was 3044 which included some elements that were in Steve Loft's source (left to the Community when as part of his retirement he gave up involvement in Cumulus) but had not been previously released. However, 3044, 3045, 3046 were all experimental in that they tried to fix certain bugs and prepare a basis from which later builds could start really introducing new functionality, you can look them up at [https://cumulus.hosiene.co.uk/viewtopic.php?f=40&t=17887 MX Current (releases since b3043)] in support forum. | |||
The purpose of this article is to make it easier to look up what features were introduced at each version. It uses material taken from the support forum, both from the release announcements and from discussions about problems and fixes mentioned elsewhere, as often the official release announcement focusses on how affects user and does not cover all bug fixes and code improvements. | |||
This article is NOT a comprehensive guide to what you need to do when upgrading. If you are using an old version and wish to know what version to update to, please see detailed advice in [[Updating MX to new version]] article. | |||

Please note that the support files (e.g. those in folder interface) are not part of the commit when creating CumulusMX.exe. This can lead to the zip provided in the release download not matching the release description in the formal announcement. In extreme cases, as some entries in tables below show, it has been flagged where the wrong files are included. | |||
The tables below include | The tables below include | ||
* version number, | * version number, | ||
* date of release, | * date of release (date when the principal changes in the build were first available in a public release), | ||
**please note that changes to some support files included in a release zip may be made after the build release date without being announced as a new build, and sometimes updated support files have accidentally appeared in zip for an earlier release than that of formal release. | |||
* build number, | * build number, | ||
* | * summary of any fixes or improvements to existing functionality | ||
* | *summary of any new functionality made available in build | ||
*Basic indication of those files that have been updated, removed, or added. | |||
**Please note that as "Updates.txt" is updated in every release it does not normally appear in any list below of files that have been updated in an individual release. If you are only copying updated files then always copy in this file, as well as any listed. | |||
** In a few releases the files included in the zip have had some inconsistencies with what is reported as the changed files. This is generally because either a particular correction was made in advance of other preparation for a new release and forgotten about, or because a minor correction was made after the formal release. | |||
**For the rare case where the files included are not matched with the commit to form the executable, this may mean although you have a working release for most aspects of MX, some functionality within MX does not work at that release. | |||
There are currently 8 forks off from Cumulus MX on the githum.com, with other developers experimenting with Cumulus MX in different ways. Only the Mark Crossley releases are listed below. | |||
