The Release (aka Stable) version of an addon is the one that is known to work well with the currently released version of the game. Addon managers download Release versions by default, unless you've set the manager to do something different.Īlpha and Beta versions are where an addon writer presents upgrades, new features, or new versions for upcoming patches or releases, so these can be tested in PTR/beta environments. These may not be entirely stable, but at least are designed to work in the intended environment. Repositories such as Curseforge will often have a way to sort by game version when looking at addons. This doesn't always give a complete picture, since not all addon authors post their most recent versions to that repository, and even some addons with alpha/beta files for the desired version don't show up properly.

With both a patch PTR and a Shadowlands beta, addon writers have been busy producing alpha and beta versions that will be compatible with the upcoming 9.0.1 and 9.0.2 releases. These will turn to Release versions once the pre-patch (and then Shadowlands) goes live. If you go to a repository such as Curseforge, you will find a link to Files that will show you a list of recent release versions of the game. If you want to see if there are any alpha/beta versions available, you will need to click "View All" to see all available versions of the files, and then download any alpha or beta files you want from there. If you use an addon manager, you can usually set individual addons or even entire channels to download Alpha or Beta versions instead of Release versions.
For those playing on the PTR or beta, this can shortcut the tedium of locating and downloading these pre-release versions. If you can't find a compatible version of your favorite addon yet, check the addon's website.
