What version should I use?

In general, it is recommended to use the latest version of the software at all times.

If multiple devices are using the same Comet account, it is recommended that they all use the same version, in order for shared resources to be mutually understood.

Version numbers and release schedule

The first two parts of a Comet version number indicate the release track (e.g. 20.5 means the "Aurora" release track). These digits roughly correspond to the year and month that version was first released (future updates within the release track do not change these numbers).
