Mobile SDK Releases
Learn about Sentry's release channels for Mobile SDK updates.
The Flutter SDK uses the following channels to release SDK updates:
Pre-releases (alpha, beta, RC,…) are for larger and potentially more impactful changes, such as new features or major versions.
We continuously release major/minor/hotfix versions from the main branch. These releases go through all our internal quality gates and are very safe to use. They're intended to be the default for most teams.
Releases are promoted from Latest to Stable when they've been used in the field for some time and at some scale. The length of time a release has been out, the level of adoption, and other quality and stability metrics are all considered before a release is deemed Stable. These types of releases will have a Stable label on the releases page.
On the releases page of the SDK's GitHub repo. Stable releases will have the Stable label in the name of the release. You can also use the search box in the top right to search for the newest releases.
No. Stability and performance are the top priorities for every release. The Stable release status means that the release has been tested and proven to work in the wild and at scale.
The stable release cycle depends on a number of factors and can vary, but the target cadence is to provide stable releases roughly every month.
We leave this decision up to you. Stable releases have been tested in the field and at significant scale. They are intended for a dependable and consistent experience. Please note that the Stable release channel will get our newest features later than other releases.
A Stable release status doesn't guarantee the stability of an SDK feature or product feature. A new feature that's still experimental might be part of a stable SDK release. Any experimental features will be clearly marked and offered as an opt-in.
