Umbraco is designed for stability and predictability, on Umbraco Cloud and on-premises. We run a predictable release cadence to ensure continuous development and are transparent about our EOL timeline, to make it easy for you to plan ahead
STS: Standard-term Support
LTS: Long-term Support
All versions earlier than Umbraco 7 are no longer supported
Active Phase
A Major version is in this phase for the first 6 months. During this time, minor releases are shipped every 6 week including minor features and bug fixes - no breaking changes.Support Phase
This phase fixes bugs, regressions, and security issues. New Cloud projects are allowed. It lasts 3 months, or 18 for LTS, with fixes, compatibility patches, and security updates.Security Phase
In this phase, only security issues are fixed. This phase lasts 3 months, or 12 for LTS majors. After this, the release is End of Life, and it is no longer recommended.
When a new .NET Long-Term Supported (LTS) version is available, a new Umbraco Major LTS is released shortly after. The goal is to offer you a platform that is supported and secure for as long as possible. The most recent LTS is Umbraco 17, supporting .NET 10 LTS.
Versioning and release cadenceKeep your Umbraco projects secure and compliant past the End-of-Life date with XLTS for Umbraco. Available for LTS versions
Stay secure past EOL
We have aligned version numbers for Umbraco Forms, Commerce, Workflow, Engage, UI Builder, and Deploy with the CMS, ensuring transparent compatibility. The add-ons follow the same LTS timeline as the CMS, meaning your .NET, Umbraco CMS, and Umbraco HQ add-ons are all supported for longer when you opt for an LTS release.
From July 5, 2023, Vendr became Umbraco Commerce and is fully supported and developed by Umbraco HQ. Vendr 3 is the final Vendr release, with EOL on June 29, 2024. Umbraco Commerce supports Umbraco 10 LTS, all newer versions. Contact us to upgrade and follow the migration guide.
Courier’s last minor release (3.1.0) shipped in April 2017. Its security phase was extended until March 2022 and is now EOL. Deploy On-premises has replaced Courier for Umbraco 8 and all newer versions.
Contour 3, the predecessor to Umbraco Forms, was released in 2012 and is now End-of-Life. Umbraco Forms fully replaces Contour and is the supported solution going forward.
Umbraco Uno has been discontinued as a product. All Uno projects were changed to Umbraco Cloud projects running Umbraco 8.18. These follow the LTS and EOL policy for Umbraco version 8.
By default, all new Umbraco Cloud projects are created using the latest LTS version of Umbraco CMS. During project creation, you can choose any Umbraco version that is still within its active support phase. Versions in Security or EOL phases can’t be used for new projects or baselines. Existing EOL projects may remain hosted under Umbraco Cloud’s End-of-Service policy.
