Every release should explain what changed and what was verified.
Finetic distributes signed compiled releases and publishes structured release notes. This policy describes the current pre-release process without promising support terms that have not yet been commercially approved.


- Server
- Public pre-release evaluation through Docker Compose
- Web client
- Available with the server
- Fire TV & Android
- Supervised device testing
- Paid launch
- Pricing and final terms pending
Designed as a system, experienced as a product.
The technical depth remains available without turning the normal viewing experience into a server dashboard.
Stable means passed gates, not risk-free
A stable package must pass the repository’s required type, test, build and relevant playback gates before publication. Release notes separate new features, improvements and fixes. Known limitations remain documented rather than being erased by the stable label.
Updates verify before replacing the runtime
The updater validates the signed manifest, archive structure and expected runtime entries. Docker installations replace the application container while retaining PostgreSQL and persistent volumes. Administrators should create or verify a backup before material upgrades.
Rollback must respect database compatibility
Container rollback can restore a pinned application image when its database schema remains compatible. If a release changed durable schema incompatibly, restore the matching pre-update database backup rather than attaching an older runtime to newer state.
Evidence has confidence boundaries
Internal automated or physical-device results are labelled as internal evidence. Documentation claims remain lower confidence until directly exercised. Performance results name the exact environment and version; later code does not inherit an earlier benchmark result without a rerun.
Current support boundary
Finetic is in public server pre-release evaluation. Questions and reproducible defect reports are accepted through hello@youngstudio.uk, but final response targets, maintenance duration, paid support entitlement and end-of-life terms remain pending commercial publication.
