== Previous versions ==
* nuBuilder Forte Version 4 is still available here:
** [https://github.com/steven-copley/nubuilder4 Github] by [https://github.com/steven-copley Steven Copley] | [https://sourceforge.net/projects/nubuilder/files/nuBuilder%204.0/ Sourceforge]
** [https://github.com/apmuthu/nubuilder4 Updated Github v4 version] by [https://github.com/apmuthu Ap.Muthu]
* nuBuilder Forte Wordpress plugin from [https://wordpress.org/plugins/nubuilder-forte/ Wordpress]. This is no longer supported in newer builds. Its [https://github.com/steven-copley/nubuilder-forte Github repo] is now archived.
== Which Version should I use? ==
* nuBuilder Forte is currently stable at v4.5 which is what all new users are expected to use and is in active development besides being supported
* Existing users of nuBuilder Forte v4 can easily migrate to v4.5 with some caveats like backup, etc. 98% appear to have gone this way according to the developers
* If you have a resource constraint in using the newer hardware and OS builds necessary for an upgrade you may want to stick with the existing v4
* If you have any extensive application built on a legacy version of nuBuilder and do not expect any of the new features to be useful and / or subscribe to "If it aint broke, don't fix it" dictum, stay with v4
=== Is version 4 still developed? ===
* No.
* v4 is in maintenance mode for now at the [https://github.com/apmuthu/nubuilder4 Updated Github v4 repo] where some essential features are backported and fixes incorporated actively for now.
* v4 now supports Tamil and Hindi user interfaces with complete translations for a few languages backported from v4.5
* Do not expect answers in the forum for v4 anymore except when it overlaps with v4.5 issues. Some good souls in the community will ofcourse help but do not take it for granted.
