For example 2.4.9, 2.4.10
New release
Once a year. It often brings new features, newer PHP and libraries, and can cause compatibility issues, so we always test it first.
When new Magento Open Source versions come out, and when security patches do. So you know ahead of time when something in your store will be updated.
Based on Adobe's official schedule. Releases usually land on the second Tuesday of the month.

Adobe moves dates now and then, so we follow the official schedule. Fixes for critical flaws that attackers already exploit also come outside the calendar. On Deedhold we apply those right away. Updated October 15, 2026.
Every version gets three years of support from its release. After that it stops getting security fixes and it is time to move to a newer one.
Need the data in your own systems? The whole schedule is available as JSON at /api/magento-releases, with the filters ?type=, ?version=2.4.8 and ?upcoming=1.
Careful: with Magento, the version number does not tell you how big the change is. Going from 2.4.8 to 2.4.9 is a major upgrade, not a small one. More in the article How Magento releases work.
For example 2.4.9, 2.4.10
Once a year. It often brings new features, newer PHP and libraries, and can cause compatibility issues, so we always test it first.
For example 2.4.8-p5
For all supported versions at once, in 2026 in March and May. It contains all security fixes so far and adds no new features.
Standalone file
A quick fix for one or a few issues between patch releases. It only applies on top of the latest security patch release of that version. Check with your developer whether you have it.
Any time
A fix for a critical flaw attackers can exploit, such as a zero‑day vulnerability. It comes out outside the calendar and on Deedhold we apply it right away.
Beta, alpha
Early versions for developers so they can get modules ready ahead of time. Not for a live store.
November, December 2026
At the end of 2026 Adobe releases only optionally, because of the holiday season. Nobody wants to change anything in their store at that time anyway.
