Magnolia maintenance policy

This page contains the Magnolia CMS maintenance policy as well as information on the frequency of releases and updates.


Magnolia Client-Hosted release policy

Magnolia will make maintenance releases in source and binary form for the current major version of its software several times per year. Maintenance releases for the current major version are available for the Community Edition as well as Magnolia DX Core.

Maintenance releases for previous major versions of Magnolia are available to Magnolia DX Core customers only (i.e. customers that have an active subscription to Magnolia DX Core). We don’t make maintenance releases to the Community Edition of previous major versions.

Magnolia classifies major releases (x.y) into Long-Term Support (LTS) and Feature releases.

Long-term support (LTS)

Unless otherwise stated, Long-term support (LTS) releases are maintained for at least two years after their release. When a new major release is made available, the current LTS release goes into maintenance mode.

The duration of maintenance mode is determined by Magnolia.

For more information, see Magnolia maintenance policy.
Definitions

Magnolia releases are numbered x.y.z (e.g. Magnolia 6.2.1) whereby x.y denotes the major version and z the maintenance release number. The final release with the highest major version number is referred to as the current major version. A release is final when it is no longer marked as Alpha, Beta, Developer Preview, Milestone or with similar indicators of a generally accepted, non-final state.

Maintenance mode

  • We don’t add new features to the release.

  • We do provide support, bug fixes and security fixes.

  • Access to artifacts (bundles, webapps, modules) in maintenance mode requires a DX Core license.

Release notes

The release notes contain a list of current and previous versions, including their maintenance releases and the release dates.
