Release Support Policy

Release Cycle

We do not currently have a fixed release cycle.

Support Duration

The support period will be documented in CHANGELOG.md for the corresponding version by OpenTofu Maintainers.

The chosen duration is informed by constraints such as:

  • The support duration of the corresponding Go major release
  • Support duration of external libraries that OpenTofu depends upon

Documentation

For each minor version (e.g., 1.6, 1.7) and the development version (corresponding to the main branch), detailed release notes will be provided.

Compatibility

To check the compatibility of OpenTofu with Terraform, refer to the (Migration guide)

Nightly Builds

Nightly builds are currently being trialled experimentally, these builds will be removed after 30 days and are not intended for usage in production environments ever.
