-Previously tagged versions of Marlin are not recommended. However, the latest patches to the Marlin 1.0 series can be found in the [1.0.x](https://github.com/MarlinFirmware/Marlin/tree/1.0.x) branch.
+You can download earlier versions of Marlin on the [Releases page](https://github.com/MarlinFirmware/Marlin/releases). (The latest "stable" release of Marlin is 1.0.2-1.)
