Release cycles

This article explores the release cycles and support periods, detailing how we organize software updates and support.

CloudBeaver release cycles

CloudBeaver releases updates on a structured schedule, providing users with regular enhancements, new features, and fixes.

Release schedule

• Regular releases: CloudBeaver releases a new stable version every three months, resulting in four major updates annually.
• Early Access (EA) versions: Additionally, CloudBeaver provides Early Access (EA) versions every two weeks. These versions allow users to engage with upcoming features and changes, offering feedback to help refine these enhancements before their official release.

Important

The EA version may not be as stable as the regular releases. Users are advised to use EA versions with caution.

Docker tags

The following tags determine the version you install on your machine:

• ea: The tag ea is associated with the latest Early Access (EA) version that has been released.
• latest: The latest tag points to the most recent stable version.
• Versions with the specific numbers:
• xx.0.1: Specifying a version in this format will download the exact version of the CloudBeaver.
• xx.0: Using a version number formatted as xx.0 will download the latest version within the xx.0 series.
• xx: Specifying just the major version number, like 24 will download the latest version within the major version 24 family.
