to download the server. The github link and filename imply that version 0.41.2 is installed but it actually downloaded the SNAPSHOT version 0.41.3. I think the filename/url is misleading.
Additionally the auto-start script failed because of a wrong filename in the autostart command given in the documentation.
The Documentation says java -jar server-0.41.2.jar -dataFolder /home/pi/Blynk, but it should be java -jar server-0.41.2-java8.jar -dataFolder /home/pi/Blynk.

A snapshot is a addendum to the current version… this is NOT an error, more like a preview of latest additions before the next release version.
Blynk is in constant development so this happens fairly regularly. Just keep watching the released version and update when you see new ones.
There are different versions… the java8 and the other one for newer java versions… content is the same.
Local Server is an advanced process… It is expected that someone skilled enough to instal a Local Server is able to make adjustments according to there needs. Adjust the startup script according to your desired filename and path
I just said… it is an ADDENDUM to the current version prior to the next version, which will then have even more additions fully baked in… The system is smart enough to “update” you to the latest version with additions when you download it… but the release is NOT final, so the listed version doesn’t change.
That’s correct, due to the release process. Initially we do release 0.41.2 for Java 11. After that 0.41.2 becomes SNAPSHOT and after that we do build of Java 8. So this is totally the same code but label is wrong. However, java 8 build is provided just for back compatibility and should be dropped in future.
OK, so now I am confused…so a release ver.0.41.2 is actually only for Java 11 and (0.41.3 Snapshot in name only) is the java8 ‘flavor’? but both the same code with no addendums… even though that “interim” update has happened before? (at least way back when)
Oh, well… whatever it is, I guess it works But I think it is time for me to update to Java 11 anyhow
