Rainbow Release Schedule

This article describes the release cadence and anticipated release schedule for future versions of Rainbow.

Release cadence

We plan to push a new solution every three weeks. These updates may include a new version of Rainbow applications or connectors. Patches can also be published spontaneously but without adding new features.

The detail of the contents of each update are presented in our Service Notifications and in our Release Timeline:

• The Service Notification is published a few days before the update and gives information on potential service disruption and on the applications making up the solution.
• The Release Timeline is updated as soon as the solution is available and presents the content in terms of features and fixes for each application.

Release schedule

The following table only tracks and provides information for major update who introduce a new solution. Patches can also be released between major update. Whether it is a major update or an intermediate patch, each update is announced in advance by a Service Notification and describe in our Release Timeline.

Note: Release dates are indicative and might vary.

Progressive rollouts

We use a progressive rollout model which means that new release availability for any given device could be staggered over upcoming hours or days (especially for smartphone or meeting room applications). The date reference for the releases references the beginning of the progressive roll out.
