The function determining beta versions is not 100% reliable due to a wide variety of versioning schemes.

Colour scheme: green text = latest stable version, red text = development or beta version.

The KDE desktop is represented by the 'plasma-desktop' package and the Xfce desktop by the 'xfdesktop' package. The Apache web server is listed as 'httpd' and the Linux kernel is listed as 'linux'. For indication about the GNOME version, please check the 'nautilus' and 'gnome-shell' packages.

Notes: In case where multiple versions of a package are shipped with a distribution, only the default version appears in the table.
