+# InvenTree Image Versions
+# ------------------------
+# By default, this docker-compose script targets the STABLE version of InvenTree,
+# image: inventree/inventree:stable
+# 
+# To run the LATEST (development) version of InvenTree, change the target image to:
+# image: inventree/inventree:latest
+#
+# Alternatively, you could target a specific tagged release version with (for example):
+# image: inventree/inventree:0.5.3
+#
+# NOTE: If you change the target image, ensure it is the same for the following containers:
+# - inventree-server
+# - inventree-worker
