title: "Release Channels"
|
|
description: "Learn how to configure your deployment for different release schedules."
|
|
---
|
|
|
|
Infisical uses rolling release channels to deliver new features, security fixes, and improvements with different update frequencies.
|
|
This system allows you to balance getting the latest features with maintaining stability in your deployment environment.
|
|
|
|
## What are release channels?
|
|
|
|
Release channels define different schedules under which Infisical makes new releases available for you to deploy.
|
|
Each channel operates on its own cadence, allowing you to choose how frequently you want to update your self-hosted deployment while balancing access to the latest features with your organization's stability requirements.
|
|
|
|
|
|
## Available Channels
|
|
|
|
Infisical provides two distinct release channels with different update frequencies and stability profiles.
|
|
|
|
<Tabs>
|
|
<Tab title="Nightly Channel">
|
|
- **Update Frequency**: Daily builds during weekdays (Monday-Friday)
|
|
- **Versioning Strategy**: Nightly releases provide daily patches and features while making its way towards the next stable release
|
|
- **Version Format**: `vX.Y.0-nightly-YYYYMMDD` where X.Y represents the next minor version increment from the latest stable release
|
|
- **Multiple Daily Builds**: If multiple nightly builds are created on the same day, they are numbered incrementally: `vX.Y.0-nightly-YYYYMMDD.1`, `vX.Y.0-nightly-YYYYMMDD.2`, etc.
|
|
- **Stability**: Latest features with standard CI/CD testing
|
|
- **Release Process**: Built from main branch after all automated tests pass
|
|
- **Intended Audience**: Development environments & early adopters
|
|
