Our normal workflow is to first update the latest stable branch with any updates, that means meta-mender/thud and overtime we try to backport to older branches e.g sumo and rocko. This is done “best effort wise” and timing could depend on many factors.

There is currently a PR to update meta-mender/sumo to include the beta release recipes, but this has not yet been merged.

You can take a look here,

The is also one PR for rocko,

> <https://github.com/mendersoftware/meta-mender/pull/714/>

Please note that you need to add the following to e.g `local.conf` to enable the beta components,

```auto
PREFERRED_VERSION_pn-mender = "2.0.%"
PREFERRED_VERSION_pn-mender-artifact = "3.0.%"
PREFERRED_VERSION_pn-mender-artifact-native = "3.0.%"

```
