Note

On ReadTheDocs, it is possible to select versions of this documentation. These versions basically relate to the program versions (as found in the GitHub repository). This can be noticed when clicking on the “Edit on GitHub” text at the top right.

Since the changes between patch level versions (e.g. 3.0.0 and 3.0.1) are usually not noticeable, we show a single branch for the recent minor version releases (e.g. ‘3.0’ for all 3.0.x releases). This branch contains all patch releases and always points to the latest patch release of that release branch. Please keep this in mind when searching for information on a specific version of NEST Desktop!
