What issue do you have?

I am running Joplin 3.0.14 on Linux Mint, which does not synchronize and learned the next release 3.0.x could have the problem solved.

I also learned the pre-release of 3.1.3 should have the problem solved.

For my Linux installation I use always

wget -O - https://raw.githubusercontent.com/laurent22/joplin/dev/Joplin_install_and_update.sh | bash

which gives me always the latest Joplin version. Therefore, I need to know when the next release is available.

Question 1:
How and where can I get the information that 3.0.x (x>14) will be released?

I consider also to try the pre-release 3.1.3. I checked at Joplin homepage and github for a possibility to download / install via a specific command the pre-release, but could not find what I need.

Question 2:
How can I download / install the pre-release 3.1.3?

Thanks in advance for your kind reply.

v3.0.15 is already out and the install & update script should install it.

I do not think there is any release schedule for updates within a point version (3.0.x) although there is a a release cycle for point version / version releases (3.x).

Details of release updates and pre-releases are usually posted on this forum. However you can always see what is available on GitHub.

Rather than download the script and sending it directly to bash, download it using:

wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/laurent22/joplin/dev/Joplin_install_and_update.sh

and then make it executable and run Joplin_install_and_update.sh --prerelease

There's probably a way to send the script straight to bash whilst also appending the --prerelease switch but I don't know it :slight_smile:

I use this regularly:

It seems to be broken on my machine right now, though. I. e. it accepts the argument, but still downloads the last release instead of prerelease.

Edit: See below for the correct command.

Yes, I had seen an issue on GitHub about that. Did not work for me either. That's why I said that I did not know how to do it :slight_smile:

In my case it was about the wrong branch in the download URL (master, that's 2 years old). With the correct branch, the update from 3.0.15 to 3.1.3 worked for me:

wget -O - https://raw.githubusercontent.com/laurent22/joplin/dev/Joplin_install_and_update.sh | bash -s -- --prerelease

Thanks for the information that 3.0.15 is released, I could install it but still the error that Joplin does not synchronize remains since 3.0.14. Before it work flawless.

Thanks for the command to download and install a pre-release. As my Joplin does not synchronize anymore since I installed 3.0.14 and 3.0.15 I consider to try the pre-release. Can not loose more.
