Fedora Releases

Time Based Release Schedule

To understand the reasoning behind time based release cycles and Fedora's release lifecycle see LifeCycle.

Development

The release of Fedora currently under development is Fedora 42.

Starting with Fedora 13 the "No Frozen Rawhide" pattern will be used, meaning each release will have the following phases:

  • Releases/Rawhide - Continuous daily updates with no guarantee of stability. Intended for initial testing of the very latest code under active development.
  • Branched - Continuous daily updates. The Feature Freeze and String Freeze are started during this phase. See Branch Freeze Policy. The Alpha Freeze occurs as that milestone approaches. Installers and updaters receive close attention.
  • Alpha - Initial testing of all packages, which must be feature-complete by this point. The Beta Freeze occurs as that milestone approaches.
  • Beta - Wide testing of all packages. The Final Freeze occurs as that milestone approaches.
  • Final Release - Suitable for the general public.

During the Branched, Alpha, Beta, and Final phases, a separate Rawhide version will continue to receive daily updates, and be developed in parallel to the code on the "stable release" track. For example, the Rawhide code that is being developed during Fedora 13 Branched, Alpha, Beta, and Final phases will become Fedora 14.
