Exasol Release Types

Rolling Release (RR)

Exasol 8 versions are currently released using a rolling release model. This is a continuous release stream where new features and updates are continuously rolled out and made available.

This release model ensures that the software is kept up-to-date with the latest bugfixes and security updates. A rolling release may also include new features and functionalities.

Examples of rolling release version numbers: 8.18.0, 8.19.0 ... 8.33.0

Long Term Support Release (LTS)

Exasol will soon introduce a Long Term Support Release (LTS) stream.

An LTS release will not have any new features added once it has been released. The primary focus for updates to an LTS release is to fix bugs and improve security, while new features are typically introduced with the next LTS release. This release model prioritizes stability over the delivery of new features.

More information about the new LTS release stream will be available here shortly.
