How releases work
The system undergoes a major update three times per year. These are applied automatically and require no downtime.
Within each 4-month release cycle, your test system will always update on day 1 to give you time to familiarise yourself with new features before your live system updates from day 15 onwards. Other replicas (training and temp if used) can update any time from day 1. You can choose your own update date around your organisational needs by clicking your organisation name in the top left. See Your system updates for more info.
| Release cycle | Test systems | Other replica systems | Live systems | Note |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | 1st February (fixed) | 1st February to 31st May | 15th* February to 31st May | |
| 2 | 1st June (fixed) | 1st June to 30th September | 15th* June to 30th September | |
| 3 | 1st October (fixed) | 1st October to 31st January | 15th* October to 31st January | * The first working day from this date |
Major releases are represented with a release number, e.g. 975. Minor releases, which include bug fixes and security patches, typically occur once or twice per week, and are represented by a letter, e.g. 975g.
