# ROCm preview release history | Version | Release date | | ------- | ------------ | | [7.9.0](https://rocm.docs.amd.com/en/7.9.0-preview/) | October 20, 2025 | ```{important} ROCm 7.9.0 introduces a versioning discontinuity following the previous 7.0 releases. Versions 7.0 through 7.8 are reserved for production stream ROCm releases, while versions 7.9 and later represent the technology preview release stream. Maintaining parallel release streams allows users ample time to evaluate and adopt the new build system and dependency changes. The technology preview stream is planned to continue through mid‑2026, after which it will replace the [current production stream](https://rocm.docs.amd.com/en/latest/). ```
