Upcoming releases

Magento continually strives to find the right balance between making product upgrades simple and predictable and delivering improvements and new features to early adopters faster. Over the last year, we have refined how we deliver software to support this balance. For additional information, refer to our release policy.

Availability

The following table describes the status of Magento software availability and where to get it, particularly for software that is available outside the conventional Magento Commerce Composer package.

Patch schedule

Magento releases security and functional patches for each supported release line of Magento Commerce every quarter.

Security releases provide fixes for vulnerabilities that have been identified in previous quarterly patch releases. You can install time-sensitive security fixes without applying the hundreds of functional fixes and enhancements that a full quarterly patch release contains. These releases are appended with -p1.

For general information about security releases, see Introducing the New Security-only Patch Release. For instructions on downloading and applying security patches, see Install Magento using Composer.

The following table provides the dates for each patch scheduled for release in 2020:

These dates are subject to change.

Compatibility

Magento modules that have been built to be decoupled from the Magento Commerce core release process; this allows us to release iterations of these modules faster to merchants who are willing to accept a little risk in exchange for earlier access to new features.

The following table shows the release status of Magento extension versions relative to Magento Commerce.

Supported – version that has been fully tested by Magento and is supported.

Compatible – version that is confirmed to be compatible with Magento, but is not supported.

Not supported - version that is not compatible with a Commerce release.
