### A few important notes
- The schedule above outlines how we plan release dates. However, unforeseen events and circumstances may cause dates to change.
- High severity security and feature degradation incidents will result in ad-hoc releases that are not scheduled ahead of time.
- Patching releases are for the current (last released) minor version of Grafana. Additional older versions of Grafana may be included if there is a critical bug or security vulnerability that needs to be patched.
- Each year Grafana implements two release freezes to accommodate for the holiday season. This year our release freezes will be implemented as outlined below:
**Freeze dates:**
- November 25, 2024 - December 2, 2024
- December 19, 2024 - January 2, 2025
**Impacted products:**
- Grafana in Grafana Cloud’s Grafana
- Grafana OSS
- Grafana Enterprise
- Grafana query service
- Multi-tenant data source services
During these times, no scheduled releases will be executed. However, this does not apply to changes that may be required during the course of an operational or security incident.
