info

Wych follows a fortnightly release schedule, with releases normally occurring on Tuesdays outside standard business hours

Release versions

Release versions use the calendar year and ISO week number. For example, 2026.20 refers to a release in ISO week 20 of 2026.

Major releases are planned quarterly and typically include larger platform, product, or standards-alignment changes.

Minor releases are planned for odd-numbered release weeks and typically include product enhancements, operational improvements, and non-breaking changes.
