# Roadmap
WP-CLI is released every 3-4 months, typically around the beta period of [WordPress's release cycle](https://wordpress.org/about/roadmap/):
* Current: [v2.10.0](https://github.com/wp-cli/wp-cli/releases/tag/v2.10.0) (February 8th, 2024)
Patch versions are released on an as-needed basis, usually to address bugs or regressions. The current version of WP-CLI is the only officially supported version.
The current longer-term goals of the project are:
* Improve contributor onboarding by streamlining development environment setup, testing and documentation.
* Rethink the role of WP-CLI scaffolding as an educational tool and a practical application of best practices.
New features are developed as packages first. Doing so enables:
* Faster feature iteration with less risk.
* More contribution opportunities.
* Reduced complexity and maintenance burden for the core project.
