Hi all, We are planning to work on a CloudStack 4.23.0 release.
CloudStack 4.23.0 will be a Regular release [1], which introduces new features and enhancements. It is targeted for users who require the newest features as early as possible and are able to upgrade when the releases are available. As discussed [2], I'll serve as the RM for the 4.23.0 release. Fabricio Duarte will act as the co-RM, assisting with triage, reviews, testing, merges, etc and release work. The timeline for this would be the following (Proposed by Fabricio, thanks): - Until May 3rd 2026: accept new features, bug fixes and improvements. - May 4th 2026: freeze the main branch. From this point, we would only accept critical/blocker fixes. - May 11th 2026: cut RC1 and start the vote (1-3 weeks to work on the next RCs if necessary). All open issues and PRs targeted for this release are tracked in the 4.23.0 release milestone [3]. The design document of some features can be found at https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/CLOUDSTACK/4.23+Design+Documents Please ping us (@weizhouapache or @winterhazel) on your PRs and issues that are to be included in 4.23.0 on Github. Please let us know if you have any questions.
