+==== Where should I post possible bug reports? ====
 If you think you have found a bug, first of all install the latest official release again (a version without the ~ notation) to check that if that solves it. Sometimes you can go back by using the Backup firmware option. If that also contains a beta version, then you’ll need to install the official version by hand. Download the .swu file from https://professional.victronenergy.com and then follow the manual install procedure; using a usb stick or as card.
 If the problem also exists with the official release; then contact normal support.
-If the problem only exists in the beta version, then please reply to the emails containing the change logs; or send them to the [[https://groups.google.com/forum/#!forum/victron-dev-venus|dev-venus mailing list]]. Do not raise issues on //Disqus// pages, Comminity forum - or any of the regular support channels for bugs in beta versions.
+If the problem only exists in the beta version, then please post a message on the relevant Venus OS beta version thread on [[https://community.victronenergy.com/spaces/31/index.html|the Modifications space on Community]]. Usually its pinned to the top there. Do not raise issues on //Disqus// pages, normal Community forum - nor any of the other regular support channels for bugs in beta versions.
 And don't forget to mention which test version you are using.

-Beta versions are marked with a tilde (~) followed by the test version number. For example, v2.06~12 is test version number 12 of version v2.06. When releasing the final version of v2.06, the tilde and test number are removed, and the firmware is simply released as v2.06.

+Official releases have a clean version number, ie v2.06, or v2.10.
