<div class="section" id="versions">
<h1><a class="toc-backref" href="#id5">Versions</a></h1>
<p>There are three versions</p>
<ul class="simple">
<li><strong>Version 3</strong> (<a class="reference external" href="http://github.com/beancount/beancount/tree/master">branch master</a>): The in-development
next version of Beancount since June 2020. This is unstable and you want to
use version 2 below. The scope of changes is described in <a class="reference external" href="https://docs.google.com/document/d/1qPdNXaz5zuDQ8M9uoZFyyFis7hA0G55BEfhWhrVBsfc/">this document</a>.</li>
<li><strong>Version 2</strong> (<a class="reference external" href="http://github.com/beancount/beancount/tree/v2">branch v2</a>):
The current stable version of Beancount, in maintenance mode as of July 2020.
This was a complete rewrite of the first version, which introduced a number of
constraints and a new grammar and much more. Use this now.</li>
<li><strong>Version 1</strong> (<a class="reference external" href="http://github.com/beancount/beancount/tree/v1">branch v1</a>):
The original version of Beancount. Development on this version halted in 2013.
This initial version was intended to be similar to and partially compatible
with Ledger. Do not use this.</li>
