Development
There are two development versions, which are often updated, and include the latest features and changes:
- qMp testing is the testing version of qMp, codenamed Kalimotxo, where new features are tested prior to adding them to the stable release. It is based on LEDE Reboot 17.01 and includes a stable version of the BMX6 protocol and any feature under development.
- qMp trunk is the development trunk version of qMp, codenamed Kalimotxo.
