Releases & LTS Policy
Track Kestra’s long‑term support (LTS) releases alongside the fast cadence of feature releases.
Current releases
Kestra maintains two tracks:
| Type | Version | Release Date | Supported Until | Release Notes |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| LTS | 1.0 | 2025‑09‑09 | 2026‑09‑09 (planned) | GitHub Release |
| Feature | 1.1 | 2025‑11‑04 | Superseded by next release | GitHub Release |
Release model
- LTS (Long Term Support) releases receive critical fixes for a defined window so production environments can upgrade on a predictable cadence.
- Feature releases deliver new functionality more frequently; they become candidates for the next LTS once they stabilize.
- Patch releases apply weekly backports (security fixes and non-breaking bug fixes) on top of the currently supported feature and LTS lines.
Release cadence at a glance
- Patch releases → weekly backports (e.g., 1.0.1 → 1.0.2)
- Feature releases → every 2 months (e.g., 1.0 → 1.1)
- LTS releases → every 6 months, supported for 1 year
Tracking the latest LTS
LTS versions are clearly labeled in the GitHub release notes and we also publish a latest-lts Docker tag, as described in the Introducing LTS announcement:
bash
kestra/kestra:latest-lts # Open Source
registry.kestra.io/docker/kestra-ee:latest-lts # Enterprise Edition
Pin these tags to stay on the most recent stable production release without tracking exact version numbers.
