Lifecycle

Versioning and periodicity
of Canopsis

Version 22.10 marked a turning point in the Canopsis lifecycle.

Previously, the versioning system was based on semantic numbering: Major.Minor.Corrective. Canopsis 22.10 inaugurates the adoption of the current chronological versioning: Year.Month.

It is also from this release that the publication frequence becomes regular. Canopsis offers two versions a year, one in April and one in October.

This organization gives customers and the community greater visibility over the evolution of their Open Source hypervision solution.

Canopsis Lifecycle
Version Maintenance Schedule

Each version is supported for two years from release. The Canopsis life cycle thus consists of two parts:

  • For 18 months: full maintenance, taking into account bugs and security flaws of any criticality
  • The last 6 months: reduced maintenance with backporting limited to critical bugs and security flaws only


This organizational structure enables the Canopsis teams to ensure optimal service quality.

Note: Any version not listed in the lifecycle schedule below is no longer supported.
