| 17 | 27 | Dan Smith | # CHIRP downloads |
| 18 | 2 | Dan Smith | |
| 19 | 1 | Dan Smith | CHIRP is distributed as a series of automatically-generated builds. Any time we make a change to CHIRP, a build is created for it the next day. Thus, CHIRP is versioned by the date on which it was created, which makes it easy to determine if you have an older build. We don't put experimental things into CHIRP before they are ready, except where specifically called out with a warning. Thus, you do not need to worry about finding a stable version to run. *You should always be on the latest build available.* |
| 20 | |||
| 21 | 29 | Dan Smith | *Upgrading*: You do _NOT_ need to uninstall an existing version of CHIRP before installing a newer one. Just install the new one and it will replace the existing copy! However, _be sure to quit CHIRP before installing the new version!_ |
| 22 | 18 | Dan Smith | |
| 23 | 32 | Dan Smith | **The CHIRP team recommends CHIRP-next unless you experience problems with your radio**. If you do, please see [[How_To_Report_Issues]]. |

| 25 | 32 | Dan Smith | ## CHIRP-next |
| 26 | 27 | Dan Smith | |
| 27 | 32 | Dan Smith | The next-generation version of CHIRP is now available for general use! This has the latest and greatest set of features and fixes, but not all radio drivers have been converted yet. Please see [[ChirpNextBuild]] for an overview of what CHIRP-next is, and [[ChirpNextBuildChanges]] for an overview of some of the larger changes to the UI. Drivers that have *not* been validated with CHIRP-next are denoted by an asterisk (*) symbol on the supported model list on the [[Home]] page. |

| 35 | 34 | Dan Smith | * Linux (all modern distros with python3, [[ChirpOnLinux|details here]]) |

| 37 | 35 | Dan Smith | ## CHIRP-legacy |
| 38 | 14 | Tim Smith | |
| 39 | 35 | Dan Smith | The "legacy" build of chirp contains support for some drivers that are not yet fixed in CHIRP-next due to ongoing development efforts. However, it no longer receives any updates, including new models, bug fixes, etc. If you have a radio that does not work in CHIRP-next because it requires attention, you may choose to run the older legacy version. Windows users may want to download the `.zip` file and keep it separate from their installed version of CHIRP-next. |
| 40 | 1 | Dan Smith | |
| 41 | 35 | Dan Smith | **It is not advised to use CHIRP-legacy unless you have a specific reason to do so.** |
