I auto-update my Nix package ([GitHub - rochecompaan/openziti-nix · GitHub](https://github.com/rochecompaan/openziti-nix)) when new Ziti releases are made, but it broke because the latest release downgraded the version from 1.6.14 to 1.5.14. Am I missing something, or is there something wrong with the release workflow?

Hi @rochecompaan ,  
We release back-port fixes regularly, however, while they get marked 'stable' (the pre-release flag is unset), they are not marked latest. If you check `https://github.com/openziti/ziti/releases/latest`, it will point you to the 1.6.14 release.

That should let you know if a new stable release is the actual 'latest'. Let me know if that's helpful.

Paul

I didn't think of back-port fixes, makes perfect sense! Thank you for clarifying, Paul!
