Releases

Channels

Moonforge releases follow three channels:

• stable, the current stable release
• next, the next stable release
• main, the main development branch

Each channel uses a separate branch tracks the corresponding Yocto branch:

• stable tracks the current LTS release branch
• next tracks the next LTS release branch, once it’s available
• main tracks the current development branch

Each branch tracks one version of Yocto only.

Every time a new Yocto LTS release is finalized, the stable branch is archived, and the next branch becomes the new stable one.

Cadence

The stable channel releases every month.

The next and main channels do not have releases.

Support

Only the stable channel is supported.
