Fedora's approach involves two development releases, [[Releases/Rawhide|Rawhide]] and [[Releases/Branched|Branched]]. For more details, see the [[Fedora Release Life Cycle]] and those two pages.

Starting with Fedora 13, the "No Frozen Rawhide" pattern will be used, meaning the following distributions will be worked on simultaneously:
* Continuous rolling development branch. No releases are ever made directly from Rawhide, and it never freezes. No guarantee of stability.  Intended for initial testing of the very latest code under active development.
* On mirrors: [https://download.fedoraproject.org/pub/fedora/linux/development/rawhide development/rawhide]
* Repository: [[Repositories#rawhide|''rawhide'']] (unstable)


* [[Releases/Rawhide]] - Continuous daily updates with no guarantee of stability.  Intended for initial testing of the very latest code under active development.  (Will become Fedora {{FedoraVersionNumber|next}} + 1.)
=== [[Releases/Branched|Branched]] ===
** On mirrors: development/rawhide
** Repositories: rawhide (unstable)
* [[Releases/Branched]] - Development branch that lasts from pre-Alpha to post-Beta.  Continuous daily updates, but with controls to promote stabilization.
** On mirrors: development/{{FedoraVersionNumber|next}}
** Repositories: fedora (stable), updates-testing (unstable)
* The last two supported general public releases (see below for links)
** On mirrors: releases/{{FedoraVersion|number}}, releases/{{FedoraVersion|number|previous}}
** Repositories: fedora (frozen), updates (stable), updates-testing (unstable)


== Current Supported Releases ==
* Development branch for pre-release stabilization. All Fedora releases are ''Branched'' from Rawhide (the ''Branch point'') before going through the Alpha, Beta and GA (Final) milestones. For a short time between GA and the next ''Branch point'', there is no Branched release. Continuous daily updates, but with [[Updates Policy|controls]] to promote stabilization.

Fedora Releases

Time Based Release Schedule

To understand the reasoning behind time based release cycles and Fedora's release life cycle see Fedora Release Life Cycle.

Current Supported Releases

Development

The next stable release of Fedora currently will be Fedora 40.

Fedora's approach involves two development releases, Rawhide and Branched. For more details, see the Fedora Release Life Cycle and those two pages.

Rawhide

  • Continuous rolling development branch. No releases are ever made directly from Rawhide, and it never freezes. No guarantee of stability. Intended for initial testing of the very latest code under active development.
  • On mirrors: development/rawhide
  • Repository: rawhide (unstable)

Branched

  • Development branch for pre-release stabilization. All Fedora releases are Branched from Rawhide (the Branch point) before going through the Alpha, Beta and GA (Final) milestones. For a short time between GA and the next Branch point, there is no Branched release. Continuous daily updates, but with controls to promote stabilization.
  • On mirrors: development/40 (or mirror list)
  • Repositories: fedora (stable), updates-testing (test updates)
