The Ansible community team typically releases two major versions of the community package per year, on a flexible release cycle that trails the release of ``ansible-core``. This cycle can be extended to allow for larger changes to be properly implemented and tested before a new release is made available. See :ref:`roadmaps` for upcoming release details. Between major versions, we release a new minor version of the Ansible community package every three weeks.

Starting with version 2.10, the Ansible community team guarantees maintenance for only one major community package release at a time. For example, when Ansible 4.0.0 gets released, the team will stop making new 3.x releases. Community members may maintain older versions if desired.
