Hi,

if you check the mender-convert tags

> **[Tags · mendersoftware/mender-convert](https://github.com/mendersoftware/mender-convert/tags)**
>
> An easy way to integrate the Mender client into an existing image - Tags · mendersoftware/mender-convert

you’ll see  
[3.0.2](https://github.com/mendersoftware/mender-convert/releases/tag/3.0.2)  
on Mar 10

[4.0.1](https://github.com/mendersoftware/mender-convert/releases/tag/4.0.1)  
on Mar 8

What’s the difference? Which version should I use? (Does it matter?)  
Thanks.

Hi @user706,

Thanks for reaching out! The 3.0.2 release is part of the LTS for the 3.3 block. Unless you have a very specific reason to use that, you should always use the latest - 4.0.2 as of the time of this writing - as it will contain the same bugfixes, but additionally the full current feature set.

Greetz,  
Josef

Great! Thanks for the info, Josef!

(I’ll use the latest greatest!)

I cannot (yet?) see 4.0.2. On github the latest is still 4.0.1

That was just a typo @user706, sorry. 4.0.1 it is.
