When is the next release planned?

[AnderssonPeter]

Hi I found the pull request(#3200) for token_file and user_key_file for the pushover receiver that was merged about 3 weeks ago.

Are there any plans for when a new docker image will be released that contains that code? I tried both latest and v0.25.0 but none of them seem to contain the needed code?

[TheMeier]

It has been a while. Last release was in Dec. 2022. There is 124 commits on the main branch since the last release. A trivy scan of the official image shows a vulnerability rated HIGH.

Can we get more frequent builds please?

[tIGO]

There has been no release since 2024-02-28. Recently some important fixes were merged (e.g. #3648 and #3826). Do you have plans to release a new version with them?

[hatamiarash7]

We need a new release :))))

[czomo]

@simonpasquier @w0rm Any changes to create new releases? It is impossible set specyfic alertmenager version(main for example) using kube-prometheus-stack because of crd validation

[acdha]

Is there anything we can do to help with a new release? We've been waiting for #3728 to remove a bunch of extra configuration from our workaround and I'd be willing to help get that out the door if there's something we can help with.

[aboukhal]

It seems that the release schedule is a frequently asked question over the years. What's the trigger for a release? Every half a year, certain milestones...? That would help people understand what to expect.
A new release would be awesome for some of the features that have been merged so far.

[simonpasquier]

I'll work on the next release in the coming days/weeks. Stay tuned.

[grobinson-grafana]

Let's see if we can get #3797 into that release, as the feature is currently incomplete as it is in main.

[dabelousov]

How long we need to stay tuned? :) Waiting for release.

[cahyahikmawan]

[nicknamenotknown]

Waiting for new release

[freak12techno]

I would actually propose not just adding a new release, but have a release schedule.
For example, I recently checked out Grafana Alloy (https://github.com/grafana/alloy) and they state they have a release cycle that has a minor release bump every 6 weeks. Sounds reasonable to have something similar here, do you guys think it's possible?

[grobinson-grafana]

I think this would be great, I'll talk with the other maintainers about how we can do something similar here.

[cahyahikmawan]

It's already 2025, and still no release? :')

[grobinson-grafana]

Hi! 👋 Just to close off this discussion, we just released 0.28.1 with a number of bug fixes, with 0.28.0 being released at the start of the year. I would like to work with the other maintainers to see if we can put together a release schedule so we can give you regular and timely features and fixes.
