# Nix Release Notes
|
|
|
|
Nix has a release cycle of roughly 6 weeks.
|
|
Notable changes and additions are announced in the release notes for each version.
|
|
|
|
Bugfixes can be backported on request to previous Nix releases.
|
|
We typically backport only as far back as the Nix version used in the latest NixOS release, which is announced in the [NixOS release notes](https://nixos.org/manual/nixos/stable/release-notes.html#ch-release-notes).
|
|
|
|
Backports never skip releases.
|
|
If a feature is backported to version `x.y`, it must also be available in version `x.(y+1)`.
|
|
This ensures that upgrading from an older version with backports is still safe and no backported functionality will go missing.
