Hi all,
here is a stupid beginners question: I accidently upgraded to RC Version some time ago (6.43.rc6). Is it save to upgrade directly to 6.43.2? Or what do I have to do to go back to (any) stable version again?
kind regards

Hello,
You can upgrade directly to a stable version. Of you want to downgrade, drag and drop the files, and while in system packages, click on Downgrade.
I wouldn’t downgrade unless you have a specific reason. Just go to the latest stable version.

Just to add some info to what @AlainCasault wrote: in a version series, RC is lower than “production”. E.g. in 6.43 series rc66 is lower than 6.43 (without RC) or 6.43.2 and you can normally upgrade (select “current”/“stable” as package channel and get ROS to upgrade itself).
Likewise RC of next release is higher than production release of previous version series. E.g. 6.43rc1 is higher than 6.42.9 (even though 6.42.9 was released quite later than 6.43rc1). So if you want to move from new RC to production release, you need to follow downgrade steps outlined by @AlainCasault … and taking care if downgrade is possible at all (depends on changes being introduced for new version series).
I thought, that this would be ok, but I was unsure. Thanks a lot for your clarification.
