Releases¶

Customer-Managed releases are provided quarterly and typically include bug fixes, features, and improvements.

For critical issues, we will attempt a patch release, but all other bug fixes and feature requests will go into the next release.

Security patch releases are published weekly for the current and previous releases when patches are available.

For any questions or concerns, please reach out to support@prefect.io.

Support¶

Each release is officially supported for six months from the release date.

For details on what Prefect support covers, see the Support page.

Client compatibility¶

Each release lists the tested Prefect client versions on its release page, and those are the versions we recommend running against it. Run the exact version listed. Prefect's versioning scheme does not strictly follow semantic versioning, so compatibility is not guaranteed for versions outside the tested set: even a minor increase may introduce a non-backwards-compatible change, and patch releases have historically included client behavior changes. Pin to a tested version and roll out upgrades through your normal change-management process.

Release Schedule¶

The release schedule is planned as follows. Note that we will do our best to reach target dates in the future but they are subject to change.

Upgrade Guide¶

See the Upgrade Guide for instructions on upgrading between releases.
