## Compatibility
The Minetest Game GitHub `master` `HEAD` is generally compatible with the GitHub
`master` `HEAD` of the Minetest engine.
As of January 2024 Minetest Game follows a **rolling release** model with new changes being automatically
published on ContentDB every day.
Additionally, when the Minetest engine is tagged to be a certain version (e.g.
`0.4.10`), Minetest Game is tagged with the version, too.
There are no stable releases or tags, all existing ones are considered legacy.
When stable releases are made, Minetest Game and the Minetest engine is packaged
and made available at [www.minetest.net](https://www.minetest.net/downloads/).
Minetest Game is always compatible to the latest stable release of the engine.
Older releases may be supported too depending on circumstances.
