Upcoming Improvements To Red Hat Enterprise Linux Minor Release Betas

Red Hat News, Tuesday, February 20th, 2024

For as long as there has been a Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL) there has been a beta ahead of each minor release update. Betas allows customers to get a preview of changes to come, test major features, and provide feedback or report issues before the final release.

While timing has varied over the years, it became very predictable since Red Hat Enterprise Linux moved to a 3-year/6-month release cadence target for major and minor releases, respectively. Since then, major release (E.g. RHEL 9.0) betas have been provided 6 months before each major release, while minor release (E.g. RHEL 9.3) betas have been provided approximately a month before each minor release update.
