- [ ] Official Launch: Production-ready
We are currently in Public Beta. Until our official launch, we cannot ensure backwards compatibility for your budibase applications between versions. Issues may arise when trying to edit apps created with old versions of the budibase builder.
Watch "releases" of this repo to get notified of major updates, and give the star button a click whilst you're there.
If you are having issues between updates of the builder, please use the guide [here](https://github.com/Budibase/budibase/blob/master/CONTRIBUTING.md#troubleshooting) to clear down your environment.
