This page provides information on the Bloomreach Content (SaaS) releases. Watch this space to stay updated about our fortnightly, planned releases containing critical bug fixes, feature enhancements, and new feature releases. We also share new documentation updates to bring exciting and helpful pages to your attention.
Releases are deployed to customer environments 2 weeks after the date encoded in the release version. This will occur between 10:00-14:00 CET on a Tuesday for customers hosted in the US or APAC. (This is usually 4-8am EST or 18:00-22:00 AET, except during daylight saving time transitions.) For customers in the EU, this will happen on the same Tuesday between 18:00-22:00 CET.
Bloomreach recommends always using the latest version of the SPA SDK for frontend applications integrating with Content SaaS. For more details see SPA SDKs - Lifecycle and Support.
