Version policy

Camunda Optimize versions are denoted as X.Y.Z as well as by an optional pre-release version being either '-alpha-[0-9]' or '-preview-[0-9]'. X is the major version, Y is the minor version, Z is the patch version as defined by the Semantic Versioning 2.0.0 specification.

Release cadence

Refer to the Camunda 8 release policy for additional details.

Alpha releases

There is an Optimize alpha release every month, excluding those in which a minor version is released. Alpha releases are intended for non-production usage in trying out recent, potentially unfinished new features.

They serve the purpose of early customer feedback and don't offer any update paths going forward. This means from running an alpha version there is no update possible to either the following alpha or any other following releases of Camunda Optimize.
