Upgrades
Image tags
Section titled “Image tags”Every stable release is published to the GitHub Container Registry and to Docker Hub, for linux/amd64 and linux/arm64, with these tags:
| Tag | Example for 1.6.0 | Use when |
|---|---|---|
1.6.0 |
exact version | You want full reproducibility |
1.6 |
latest patch of 1.6 | You want bug fixes automatically |
1 |
latest release of 1.x | You stay on the major version and get features |
latest |
most recent stable release | Anything new is fine |
Pre-releases such as 1.6.0-rc.1 get only their full version tag, never latest, 1 or 1.6.

Bigger steps
Section titled “Bigger steps”- Coming from Label Printer Hub: Labelyard 1.6.0 is the renamed project. Images, command and environment prefix changed; data and API stay.
- From 1.4.x: release 1.5.0 moved every API route under
/api/v1/without aliases. Update scripts, proxy rules and bookmarks first; the 1.5.0 release notes list the moved paths.
