So is this stable release. Can I change repo to beta and update ?

    You can change between alpha, beta, and stable anytime you want.

      It looks like they dropped the ability for owner to install apps from one secondary profile to another, major bummer as I had just restructured a new device to have an "app" secondary profile...

        Looks like it went release overnight. Installed without any issues so far.

          I agree that it's a bummer, but I understand why they removed it. Based on the release notes it looks like they want to add it back after figuring out how to implement it in a safer way.

            Set the auto-update app to "unmetered only", and mark your network as "metered".

            Won't it break things if you skip quite a few incremental updates though?
            At least when not disabling it completely, I saw that it will at least notify you of an
            available update but won't auto download/install it, as opposed to a disabled app
            which will then have to fetch all the delta updates and apply them one after another.

              It's my understanding that the updater app will only apply an incremental update if one is available. It'll use a full update if not.

              The updater app checks for updates using this format: [device name]-incremental-[current version number]-[target version].zip. Like I found three incremental updates for the Pixel 6:

              oriole-incremental-2023012500-2023020200.zip
              oriole-incremental-2023011000-2023020200.zip
              oriole-incremental-2023010300-2023020200.zip

              So, if I had version 2022122700 on my phone then it would use the full update.

                Thanks, for some reason in my case (on a stable channel P4a) I found that skipping a minor
                weekly update, and installing another one, will cause 2 updates and 2 reboots meaning it will
                prefer to do 2 deltas instead of a full one.

                I personally prefer to apply only the monthly Android security patch, rather the weekly GOS releases.
                However it's not an option to choose such a release channel, so I stick with "extra-stable" in my case.

                One of my favorite things is the promptness and regularity of the OS updates.

                I would never skip one.
