# Release Policy
|
|
|
|
OpenClaw has three public release lanes:
|
|
|
|
- stable: tagged releases that publish to npm `latest`
|
|
- beta: prerelease tags that publish to npm `beta`
|
|
- dev: the moving head of `main`
|
|
|
|
## Version naming
|
|
|
|
- Stable release version: `YYYY.M.D`
|
|
- Git tag: `vYYYY.M.D`
|
|
- Beta prerelease version: `YYYY.M.D-beta.N`
|
|
- Git tag: `vYYYY.M.D-beta.N`
|
|
- Do not zero-pad month or day
|
|
- `latest` means the current stable npm release
|
|
- `beta` means the current prerelease npm release
|
|
- Beta releases may ship before the macOS app catches up
|
|
|
|
## Release cadence
|
|
|
|
- Releases move beta-first
|
|
- Stable follows only after the latest beta is validated
|
|
- Detailed release procedure, approvals, credentials, and recovery notes are
|
|
maintainer-only
|
|
|
|
