Hi, v2.56.x has been in beta since August 2024. Is there a tentative for when it gets a final release?

[Nir-Az]

Hi @bbferka
Currently we aim for EO Q1 / Start of Q2..
Stay tuned..

[stevedanomodolor]

what about for arm version?

[stevedanomodolor]

In addition, it also an older version of cuda, 10.12

[Nir-Az]

Focal version is built on NVIDIA Jetson JP5.0.2 that comes with Cuda version 11.4.1.
You can try it.
If you use Jammy, you can also use our Debians that use Cuda 12.2

[Nir-Az]

BTW, If you build from source you can use any Cuda version you wish :)

[stevedanomodolor]

I do now to make it work with the latest version. But having to do this manually is a pain😬

[Nir-Az]

Sorry to hear that, soon we will have another release and hopefully it will make you flow easier.
