Release Calendar

DuckDB follows semantic versioning. Larger new features are introduced in minor versions, while patch versions mostly contain bugfixes.

Upcoming Releases

The planned dates of upcoming DuckDB releases are shown below. Please note that these dates are tentative and DuckDB maintainers may decide to push back release dates to ensure the stability and quality of releases.

There are no upcoming releases announced at the moment. Please check back later.

For planned new features, see the DuckDB Development Roadmap.

LTS Releases

Starting with v1.4.0, every other DuckDB version is going to be a Long-Term Support (LTS) edition. For LTS DuckDB versions, the support period for community support is currently a year after the release. DuckLabs is offering support for older LTS versions after their community support has expired.

For an overview of end-of-life information, see the DuckDB entry on endoflife.date.

Past Releases

In the following, we list DuckDB’s past releases along with their codename where applicable. Between versions 0.2.2 and 0.3.3, all releases (including patch versions) received a codename. Since version 0.4.0, only major and minor versions get a codename.

	Date	Version	Codename (named after)
{% for row in site.data.past_releases %}
{%- capture logo_filename %}images/release-icons/{{ row.version_number }}.svg{% endcapture -%}
{%- capture logo_exists %}{% file_exists {{ logo_filename }} %}{% endcapture -%}
	{{ row.release_date }}	[{{ row.version_number }}](https://github.com/duckdb/duckdb/releases/tag/v{{ row.version_number }})	({{ row.duck_species_primary }}){% endif %}
{% endfor %}

Release Calendar as a CSV File

You can get a CSV file containing past DuckDB releases and analyze it using DuckDB’s docs/currenter. For example, you can compute the average number of days between releases using the lag window function:

SELECT avg(diff)::DECIMAL(8, 2) AS average_days_between_releases
FROM (
    SELECT release_date - lag(release_date) OVER (ORDER BY release_date) AS diff
    FROM 'https://duckdb.org/data/duckdb-releases.csv'
);
