Every public Noxen File Explorer GitHub release, including the current Razer Native C++ line and the older Python/PySide6 line.
Release Timeline
NFE currently has two eras: the older Python / PySide6 releases and the newer Razer Native C++ / Qt releases. The old Python versions are still part of the public release history, but the current recommended branch is the native C++ Razer Native line.

Razer Native line
- v2.0 R1 is the main C++/Qt rebuild foundation.
- v2.0.1 R1.1 is the first updater-ready release and should be treated as the baseline for future updater packages.
- The normal folder build is recommended for most users because it is easier to update, repair, and troubleshoot.
- The one-file build is a wrapper that extracts a runtime copy before launching NFE.
Legacy Python line
- R1 started the public Python/PySide6 NFE history.
- R2 expanded file actions, archive tools, ISO actions, and keyboard behavior.
- R3 added major UX and progress-dialog improvements.
- R3.1 focused on fixes, stability, and MTP companion-app workflow.
Download notes
The Latest Build page points to RN-R1.1, the current updater-ready release. Older Python releases are kept in the history list for archival/reference use.
Future update packages should be placed under LatestBuild/update/ with matching .sha256.txt checksum files so the updater can verify downloads before installing.
