How to read the calendar

  • A region in the list means the release deploys to that region on that date.
  • A region missing from a line means it is on a different cadence (often EU Premium runs two weeks behind the others to catch hotfixes).
  • Each release is announced at least two weeks in advance through the Status page and the release notes for the year.

Maintenance windows

Infrastructure maintenance typically happens on Sundays, when exam load is lowest. See Release policy for the maintenance-window slots per region.

Hotfixes

Hotfixes are unscheduled and triggered only when an issue needs immediate resolution. See Release policy.
