[FlowFuse 0.5 AND 0.6](/blog/2022/06/flowforge-06-released/)<br />


We've had two releases since our last newsletter, there are a lot of related features between them.
We introduced a new design for the forge application which aligns with the branding on our website.
We've added [Devices](/docs/user/concepts/#device), allowing you to run and manage your Node-RED projects on your own hardware, this is ideal for applications that need to connect to either sensor data or specialist hardware deployed outside the cloud.
We added a new concept as part of this work, [Snapshots](/docs/user/concepts/#snapshot) allow you to take a point in time copy of your project, today that can then be deployed to one or more devices but we have plans to expand this concept for things like [rolling back](https://github.com/FlowFuse/flowfuse/issues/587) a project to a previous point in time.
[0.5](/blog/2022/05/flowforge-05-released/) Introduced the capabilities of copying a project or certain parts of it, allowing for scenarios like having multiple environments for Development and Production.
