Metabase release versioning
We follow our own flavor of the semantic versioning guidelines. Standard semantic versioning uses Major.Minor.Patch format, but we’ve adapted it to distinguish the open-source version of Metabase from the paid, source-available version of Metabase (available in the Pro and Enterprise plans).
With Metabase releases, we prefix the version with a 0 or 1, depending on the license.
The Metabase version schema
License.Major.Point.Hotfix
For example:
v0.57.3.1
v0.57.3.1 would be for a hotfix (1) for the third (3) point release of Metabase 57, the open-source edition (0).
License
0for the free, open-source version (sometimes called OSS, for open-source software).1for the paid, source-available version that has all the bells and whistles (sometimes called EE for “Enterprise Edition”).
Major
We release major versions when we introduce new features or breaking changes. See release announcements.
Point
Sometimes called a minor release, we issue point releases when we add bug fixes and refinements to existing features. See the changelog
Hotfix
Sometimes called a patch release, we issue these releases nightly so we can fix bugs or security issues as soon as we can.
You’ll see releases ending as .x in releases on GitHub. These are placeholder links. The actual link will go to the latest hotfix. For example:
metabase/metabase:v0.57.2.xwill automatically pull the latest patch version in for the latest minor version (likev0.57.2.1,v0.57.2.2, etc.).
