__Not for production use – use with caution!__
Previously tagged versions of Marlin are not recommended. However, the latest patches to the Marlin 1.0 series can be found in the [1.0.x](https://github.com/MarlinFirmware/Marlin/tree/1.0.x) branch.
You can download earlier versions of Marlin on the [Releases page](https://github.com/MarlinFirmware/Marlin/releases). (The latest "stable" release of Marlin is 1.0.2-1.)
[This branch, "RC"](https://github.com/MarlinFirmware/Marlin/tree/RC), is our current pre-release candidate.
You'll always find the latest Release Candidate in the ["RC" branch](https://github.com/MarlinFirmware/Marlin/tree/RC). Bugs that we find in the current Release Candidate are patched in the ["RCBugFix" branch](https://github.com/MarlinFirmware/Marlin/tree/RC), so during beta testing this is where you can always find the latest code on its way towards release.
Future development takes place in the [MarlinDev repository](https://github.com/MarlinFirmware/MarlinDev/).
Future development (Marlin 1.2 and beyond) takes place in the [MarlinDev repository](https://github.com/MarlinFirmware/MarlinDev/).
