Releases
Coder releases are cut directly from main in our GitHub on the first Tuesday of each month.
We recommend enterprise customers test the compatibility of new releases with their infrastructure on a staging environment before upgrading a production deployment.
Release channels
We support four release channels:
- Mainline: The bleeding edge version of Coder
- Stable: N-1 of the mainline release
- Security Support: N-2 of the mainline release
- Extended Support Release: Biannually released version of Coder
We field our mainline releases publicly for one month before promoting them to stable. The security support version, so n-2 from mainline, receives patches only for security issues or CVEs.
Mainline releases
- Intended for customers with a staging environment
- Gives earliest access to new features
- May include minor bugs
- All bugfixes and security patches are supported
Stable releases
- Safest upgrade/installation path
- May not include the latest features
- All bugfixes and security patches are supported
Security Support
- In-product security vulnerabilities and CVEs are supported
For more information on feature rollout, see our feature stages documentation.
Extended Support Release
- Designed for organizations that prioritize long-term stability
- Receives only critical bugfixes and security patches
- Ideal for regulated environments or large deployments with strict upgrade cycles
ESR releases will be updated with critical bugfixes and security patches that are available to paying customers. This extended support model provides predictable, long-term maintenance for organizations that require enhanced stability. Because ESR forgoes new features in favor of maintenance and stability, it is best suited for teams with strict upgrade constraints. The latest ESR version is Coder 2.29.
For more information, see the Coder ESR announcement or our ESR Upgrade Guide.
Installing stable
When installing Coder, we generally advise specifying the desired version from our GitHub releases page.
You can also use our install.sh script with the stable flag to install the
latest stable release:
curl -fsSL https://coder.com/install.sh | sh -s -- --stable
Best practices for installing Coder can be found on our install pages.

Tip
We publish a
preview image
ghcr.io/coder/coder-preview on each commit to the main branch. This can be
used to test under-development features and bug fixes that have not yet been
released to mainline or stable.
The preview image is not intended for production use.
January Releases
Releases on the first Tuesday of January are not guaranteed to occur because most of our team is out for the December holiday period. That being said, an ad-hoc release might still occur. We advise not relying on a January release, or reaching out to Coder directly to determine if one will be occurring closer to the release date.
