Grafana releases: New 2023 release schedule

Grafana has announced a revised release schedule to address the challenges posed by its rapid growth and frequent updates, which have increased by 70% over the last four years, resulting in 65 releases in a single year. Starting January 10, 2023, Grafana will adopt a monthly release cycle for self-managed instances, with minor versions featuring new features and security updates on even-numbered months and patch releases focusing on bug fixes and security updates on odd-numbered months. This change aims to provide a more predictable and reliable update experience for users, while still allowing for rapid responses to high-severity security incidents. Grafana Cloud users will remain unaffected by this shift, and the company will maintain its commitment to providing seamless service continuity. Additionally, a release freeze is in place from December 15, 2022, to January 4, 2023, to accommodate the holiday season, with exceptions for critical operational or security incidents.
