Image tag 2025.10.5 downloaded older jar

[michaelblight]

I was running the 'latest' docker image from about a year ago (ie. no longer latest), and decided to change to a specific tag (2025.10.5) so I'd know better what version I'm on. Beforehand, it was picking up HA Paper version 1.21.10, but when I ran this tag it downloaded 1.21.8-60.

I fixed it by specifying I wanted 1.21.10, but why does it think 1.21.8 is the latest? I had tried with "VERSION=LATEST" and no "VERSION" env variable, but both downloaded 1.21.8.

EDIT: In thinking about it - could it be that 1.21.10 is still marked as experimental, and the old image I had didn't differentiate?

Yes, it's exactly that. I recently fixed the logic to not blindly grab experimental versions. Set the channel for that
