The Open edX community can share knowledge and improvements more easily when most people use the same stable, consistent version of the Open edX codebase. To that end, edX is creating a series of Open edX releases, which are distinct from the weekly deployments to edx.org and have a longer release cycle (on the order of several months between each release). These releases will be tested both by edX and by the Open edX community, and with each subsequent release we will include instructions for how to upgrade from the previous Open edX release.
Current Open edX Releases
Note that the latest release (Cypress) is the only supported release. We currently do not have the ability to support more than one release at a time.

Note that "release candidates" are not final yet, which is why they do not have a release date in this table. We encourage the Open edX community to test release candidates for several days and report any issues, so that they can be fixed before the new release is declared. In git, release candidates are branches, while releases are tags.
