Applying themes to the latest version of NopCommerce

I downloaded the latest source code version of nopCommerce from here https://www.nopcommerce.com/downloads.aspx which says "nopCommerce 3.80 - Source code (101 MB)". However after I isntalled it in my admin section it is says "nopCommerce version 3.90".  I also downloaded version 3.8 from git repository https://github.com/nopSolutions/nopCommerce/releases/tag/release-3.80 and compare the two solutions and it turns out that they are different. I am a bit confused - which is the latest version on NopCommerce 3.8 or 3.9 and which version I am using with the latest download from the official download page (https://www.nopcommerce.com/downloads.aspx).

In addition when I search for themes there is nothing for NopCommerce 3.9. I tried to setup a theme compatible with 3.8 (https://www.nopcommerce.com/p/1381/noproot-bootstrap-theme-free.aspx) to my local installation (latest release from the official download page) and it doesn't work.
I get the following error:
Compiler Error Message: CS1061: 'Nop.Web.Models.Common.HeaderLinksModel' does not contain a definition for 'CustomerEmailUsername' and no extension method 'CustomerEmailUsername' accepting a first argument of type 'Nop.Web.Models.Common.HeaderLinksModel' could be found (are you missing a using directive or an assembly reference?)

Line 14:     }

Nop 3.80 is stable released version ==>https://www.nopcommerce.com/downloads.aspx

Nop 3.90 is not released yet=>https://www.nopcommerce.com/boards/t/43815/nopcommerce-390-roadmap-and-estimated-release-date-lets-discuss.aspx

Thank you for your fast answer. Do you know why in my admin it says "nopCommerce version 3.90"?

In addition do you know why I am getting the error that I pastes above when I try to apply theme compatible with nopCommerce 3.8?

Hi,

As @sohel already mentioned, the latest stable version is 3.80. You should download it from here - https://www.nopcommerce.com/downloads.aspx

In the github repository, you will find the version that is currently developed - 3.90, which it is not released yet. If you have downloaded it from the github, that's why it is showing 3.90 in the administration. I suggest you to not use it now because there are no available themes or plugins for 3.90 version ( apart from the default ones ). Also, you cannot use themes or plugins from 3.80 to 3.90.

Hope this helps!

Regards,
Hristian

I downloaded the version from https://www.nopcommerce.com/downloads.aspx

I downloaded the source code from https://www.nopcommerce.com/downloads.aspx and install it again. The admin now says "nopCommerce version 3.80", and the theme that I was trying to apply previously works fine now.
Thank you for your time.
