KAI Scheduler follows a structured release lifecycle to ensure stability for production environments.
Starting with v0.12, we adopt the following release cadence:
- Standard Versions (Odd numbers, e.g., v0.13): Feature releases supported only until the next version is released.
- LTS Versions (Even numbers, e.g., v0.12): Long Term Support versions.
LTS Versions are supported publicly for 1 Year from their release date. During this window, they receive:
- Security Patches (CVEs)
- Critical Bug Fixes
The following versions are currently supported.
| Version | Type | Release Date | End of Support | Status |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| v0.16 | LTS | Jun 2026 | Jun 2027 | Active |
| v0.15 | Standard | Jun 2026 | Until v0.16 | End of Life |
| v0.14 | LTS | Mar 2026 | Mar 2027 | Maintenance |
| v0.13 | Standard | Mar 2026 | Until v0.14 | End of Life |
| v0.12 | LTS | Dec 2025 | Dec 2026 | Maintenance |

Note on Versioning: The strict "Even numbers are LTS" policy begins with
v0.12. The versions listed above (v0.9,v0.6,v0.4) are supported as transitional LTS releases.
