=== CollabVM 1.0 ===
'''February 18, 2015 to- July 28, 2015''' - ''spanning 5 months''
 
CollabVM 1.0 (known as the [[Socket.io|Socket.IO]] Era to some) was the first popular iteration of CollabVM, and the second overall. Although initially unpopular, it exploded in popularity in April 2015 after being posted onto Reddit. It ran the [[socket.computer]] engine, but had a few modifications in place, the screen was scaled, the laptop image was removed, an administrator panel was modded into it, and two exploits (one being an exploit which allowed anyone to run arbitrary QMP commands) were found and then later fixed.
 
=== CollabVM 1.1 ===
'''July 28, 2015 to- March 24, 2016''' - ''spanning 8 months''
 
CollabVM 1.1 was the third iteration of CollabVM. This iteration was a very important milestone in CollabVM's history as it was when the new C++ rewrite of [[collab-vm-server]] 1.1 done by [[Cosmic Sans]] was officially out of beta and released onto the site.
 
=== [[CollabVM 1.2]] ===
'''March 24, 2016 to- February 17, 2020''' - ''spanning 4 years''
 
CollabVM 1.2 is the fourth iteration of CollabVM. This iteration included several updates to the existing 1.1 core, and added some new features. These features included the Vote Reset, which allows users to reset the virtual machine even when an admin is not online (now users could simply vote reset instead of potentially waiting for hours for an admin), support for multiple virtual machines, a brand new homepage which showed the current running virtual machines along with screenshots of them running, an issue that let users impersonate others was fixed, and the turn counter now counted how long you had to wait.
 
=== [[CollabVM 2.0]] ===
'''February 17, 2020 to- June 2, 2020''' - ''spanning 4 months''
 
CollabVM 2.0 is the fifth iteration of CollabVM. This version was originally planned to be 1.3, although since it was renamed to 2.0 since it shares none of the old code from the original server. This iteration includes several updates including stability updates, more modern libraries, VNC and RDP support, full VNC and RDP audio support, accounts, native Windows support, and more.
 
In February 2021, the last official version of the CollabVM 1.2 server was released, 1.2.11. It uses Boost.Beast for WebSockets, similar to CollabVM 2.0, but it's infinitely more stable than CollabVM 2.0.
 
This updated code base is also being used as the base for the next CollabVM version.
 
Features added in forks:
'''When 3.0 releases - May god have mercy on your wretched souls'''
