Releases and supported versions
|
|
===============================
|
|
|
|
This page summarizes the public release, security-update, and upgrade support
|
|
policies for Weblate. For maintainer release steps, see
|
|
:doc:`/contributing/release`. For upgrade commands, see :doc:`/admin/upgrade`.
|
|
For published release artifacts, SBOMs, signatures, and provenance
|
|
attestations, see :doc:`release-artifacts`.

Release cycle
|
|
-------------
|
|
|
|
Weblate uses calendar versioning with monthly releases. The version format is
|
|
``<YEAR>.<MONTH>.<PATCH>`` with a numeric, non-zero-padded month. The
|
|
``<PATCH>`` part is omitted for the first release in a month when it would be
|
|
``0``, for example ``2026.5``. Patch releases use the full version number, for
|
|
example ``2026.5.1``.
|
|
|
|
Monthly releases are usually published at the beginning of the month. Patch
|
|
releases include bug fixes, security fixes, and dependency updates which should
|
|
not wait for the next monthly release.
|
|
|
|
The Docker container includes an additional version component to track changes
|
|
in the container itself, such as dependencies. Fixed Docker image tags include
|
|
the patch component together with this build component, even when the Weblate
|
|
version omits a ``0`` patch component. These updates may include security
|
|
updates.
|
|
|
|

|
Security updates
|
|
----------------
|
|
|
|
Weblate provides security updates to address vulnerabilities and enhance the
|
|
application's security posture. Only the latest release is guaranteed to
|
|
receive security updates. Users are encouraged to keep Weblate up to date to
|
|
benefit from the latest security improvements.
|
|
|
|
Security update coverage and direct upgrade support are separate policies.

|
|
|

Direct upgrades are supported from releases in the current or previous calendar
|
|
year. The first release in a new year drops direct upgrade support for releases
|
|
from the year before the previous year.
