I’ve just upgrade from 2.5.12 to 3.1

Modbus isn’t working in 3.1 and I want to switch on milestone to get a chance to get a patch that I’ve read someone made.

So I run openhabian-config, option 40 then select Milestone and openhabian-config seems to start working to switch channel:

But after restarting I’m always on 3.1.0 stable
Checked also in karaf console showing modules, I get the 3.1.0 vanilla, no M version.

the apt sources list for openhab reports:

deb https://openhab.jfrog.io/artifactory/openhab-linuxpkg testing main

But in Webgui and Karaf i keep seeing 3.1.0 Stable

Any hint?

That is because the current stable also was the latest testing version. So they are the same.
You need to have a look to which other versions are offered:

apt-cache policy openhab

This shows e.g.:
openhab:

  Installed: <your installed version here>
  Candidate: 3.1.0-1   <= latest/highest version in tree here
  Version table:
     3.1.0-1 500
        500 https://openhab.jfrog.io/artifactory/openhab-linuxpkg testing/main amd64 Packages
        500 https://openhab.jfrog.io/artifactory/openhab-linuxpkg testing/main i386 Packages
     3.1.0~RC1-1 500
        500 https://openhab.jfrog.io/artifactory/openhab-linuxpkg testing/main amd64 Packages
        500 https://openhab.jfrog.io/artifactory/openhab-linuxpkg testing/main i386 Packages
     3.1.0~M5-1 500
        500 https://openhab.jfrog.io/artifactory/openhab-linuxpkg testing/main amd64 Packages
        500 https://openhab.jfrog.io/artifactory/openhab-linuxpkg testing/main i386 Packages
     3.1.0~M4-1 500
        500 https://openhab.jfrog.io/artifactory/openhab-linuxpkg testing/main amd64 Packages
        500 https://openhab.jfrog.io/artifactory/openhab-linuxpkg testing/main i386 Packages
     3.1.0~M3-1 500
        500 https://openhab.jfrog.io/artifactory/openhab-linuxpkg testing/main amd64 Packages
        500 https://openhab.jfrog.io/artifactory/openhab-linuxpkg testing/main i386 Packages
     3.1.0~M2-1 500
        500 https://openhab.jfrog.io/artifactory/openhab-linuxpkg testing/main amd64 Packages
        500 https://openhab.jfrog.io/artifactory/openhab-linuxpkg testing/main i386 Packages

Then with

sudo apt-get install <package name>=<version>

in general resp.

sudo apt-get install openhab=3.1.0~M5-1

in your case you should be able to install the Milestone release.
