Release Schedule

Major versions include all changes that break file format compatibility or network compatibility. Minor versions include all fixes and features that do not require any data or network breaking changes.

The next major version is developed on its respective branch. The current major version is on the core4 branch.

Each major version has a separate set of testing shards running. The nightly branch tracks behind the current branch for the development testing server.

A major version will be frozen and released approximately every few years, if breaking changes were made, starting with version 4.0 in May 2022. Version 5.0 may be released in a year or two. Every few months for the latest major version, a minor version will be released if necessary. Along with each major version, a minor version for the previous major versions will be released too. In case there are no breaking changes, only a minor version will be tagged. Fixes may be applied to the last three major versions at most.
