Releases have labels Latest and Pre-release. Please make a note that the labels mean:
- Latest - release process of the agent version is fully completed and it's available for all users;
- Pre-release - release process of the agent version was started and it's already available for using by part of users.
Each new version of agent is released for users by groups during several days. And usually it becomes available for all users within 6-8 days after start of release. The release has label "Pre-release" during all these days. So it's expected behavior if specific release is used by builds in pipelines but it's marked as "Pre-release".
