I wonder if this is a bug (failing automation) or if there a reason that the download link seems to be outdated.
Downloads | Clear Linux* Project provides version 40690, (18. Jan 2024) like:
https://cdn.download.clearlinux.org/releases/40690/clear/clear-40690-live-server.iso
where I can see the CDN has a version from February (40750)
https://cdn.download.clearlinux.org/releases/40750/clear/
The version linked on the Downloads has had (a bit) more testing and is deemed to be (a bit more) stable than the version automatically propagated to the CDN.
@william.douglas do you want to expand on the process?

I have a question regarding that, but is there like a “stable” branch of CL and a more unstable one? The OS works fine for me, but from time to time updates tends to break some stuff.
No. There was some talk about having a ‘canary’ channel at one point, but that never materialized. If you ever want to roll Clear Linux out in production, it’s recommended to distribute a mix of Clear Linux - that way you can control when to rebase to upstream. For an enduser that is just relying on upstream, the only control you have is to turn off auto-update and update manually (ideally when major components haven’t recently changed)
