Archived versions and offline installers

Past releases, offline full packages and enterprise deployment packages for intranet installs and version rollback.

The online installer is small but downloads components during setup; the offline package carries everything and suits intranet and bulk deployment. Archived versions help when you need to roll back to test compatibility.

Three kinds of packages

Online installer (about 62 MB, fetches components during setup), offline full package (everything included, larger), and enterprise deployment package (MSI with silent switches).

  • Online: small, needs internet
  • Offline full: for intranet environments
  • Enterprise MSI: silent install and preloaded policy
  • Mobile archives on the archive page

Why archived versions exist

Mainly to confirm whether a new version introduced a problem: roll back one version, see if the symptom disappears, then report what you found.

  • Check whether a regression came from a new version
  • Temporary workaround for legacy systems
  • Archived builds receive no security updates
  • Return to the latest version once confirmed

Verification and sources

Every package publishes a SHA256 checksum. Verify after download to be sure nothing was altered in transit.

  • SHA256 checksum for every package
  • Download from the official site
  • Enterprise packages are signed
  • Do not install and report any mismatch

FAQ

Is the offline install different from the online one?

Functionally identical — only whether components ship with the package differs. Version and update behavior are the same afterward.

Can archived versions still update?

Yes. They check for updates like any other build, and we recommend upgrading for security fixes.
