At Unqork, our goal is to provide you with a powerful, stable, and predictable platform that accelerates your business. A critical part of this commitment is listening to your feedback.
Based on extensive conversations with our customers and partners, we are excited to announce a strategic update to our platform release calendar, effective beginning in 2026.
Starting in Q1 2026, Unqork will be moving to a quarterly General Availability (GA) release cadence. This change will replace our 2025 model of 6-week releases deployed via cohorts.
We are making this change for two primary reasons:
- To Better Align with You: We heard from many of you that our 6-week release cycle created a significant burden on your teams to test, validate, and adopt new versions. Many of you already align your platform updates to a quarterly schedule, and this new cadence makes that process simpler and more predictable.
- To Enhance Quality and Enablement: A quarterly cycle gives our teams more time to perform comprehensive quality assurance, ensuring each release is more stable and robust.
What is Changing?
- From: A 6-week release cycle with three separate deployment cohorts.
- To: A 12-week (quarterly) release cycle with a single General Availability (GA) release for all customers.
When Will This Change Take Effect?
The 2025 release calendar will continue as scheduled.
This new quarterly cadence will officially begin with our 8.0 release in Q1 2026, which is scheduled for General Availability in production in March 2026.
The preliminary 2026 GA release dates are as follows:
- Q1 Release (8.0): March 2026
- Q2 Release (8.03): June 2026
- Q3 Release (8.06): August 2026
- Q4 Release (8.09): November 2026
What Is Not Changing?
Our process for weekly patch releases will not change. We will continue to deploy critical bug fixes on a weekly basis, so you will never have to wait for a quarterly release to receive an urgent fix.
Next Steps
We are confident this new cadence will provide a more stable and predictable experience for your teams.
