Release date of the next open release?
Hi community / Aras,
does anyone know the release date of the next open release? The previous one is already 11 month old... :).

Hi Angela, I haven't heard anything about a 2026 Community Edition yet, but I've reached out to our PM team for more info. I'll reply back here when I know more!
I would appreciate a regular schedule, like quarterly
And an option for live upgrades, like weekly, even onprem
Isn´t it quarterly? :) We have Release 39 since a few days. Back in 2022 we even had a monthly release schedule - and for once, Aras and customers were on the same page that it wasn’t a great idea. :)
For the Community version, it´s on a one-year release cycle. (if we ignore that we waited three years for R2023... :) ).
From what I can tell from the past, community releases are often cornerstone versions: They include the most important improvements, but less experimental new features. New customers who test the software see something polished with low risk that something is not working. This is of course a big plus for users without subscription who might have to rely on this version a very long time.
Release 39 looks like a perfect candidate for a Community version - no experiments, just solid improvements. For me, it´s not really important whether the next open release comes sooner or later. It mainly helps with planning.
What I would really like to see is an increase in the user limit for the open release, or ideally a return of a lightweight subscription model. Right now I have a few projects where a full subscription (with all features and upgrade service) is simply too much for the requirements, while the open release is still too limited.
Hi Angela, I checked with our product team and confirmed that we are planning to release a 2026 Community Edition later this year. I don't have a precise date or timeframe right now, but I can let you all know when I have more info to share.
Hi Eli, thanks for the update! There´s no hurry. I just wanted to avoid installing the current version and then having Aras release a new one a week later.
Hi all, quick update - we expect to release the next community edition this week. I'll put a fresh post in the forum when it's live!
Hi Eli!
Thanks for the great news! I previously predicted that we would get a new open release before the XSLT patch in November, and I'm glad to see that prediction come true!
(Off topic: For those who are looking for an XSLT patch for older releases - I will try to post my solution next week. )
eli_donahue Any update on CE edition release ?
