}}
  • currentstable The current stable version of the SMF software -- the first listed on the downloads page
  • currentseries The series to which the current stable version belongs (1.1.13 is in the series 1.1)
  • firstinseries If the current stable version is the first in a new series (2.0, 1.0, etc), include this parameter. Otherwise, leave it out.
  • deprecatedseries (optional) The currently deprecated series; the series which is no longer current. With the release of 1.1, the 1.0 series became deprecated. Still supported. No new features to be added. Important bugfixes possible.
