Mageia 10 Development Update: Planning and Key Highlights
Quoting: Mageia 10 Development Update: Planning and Key Highlights | Mageia Blog (English) —
On December 1st, the Mageia development team met to discuss the progress of Mageia 10, establishing an initial release roadmap and addressing the status of key software stacks.
A tentative schedule was agreed upon, aiming to start the release cycle as soon as possible with a first alpha version to be released “yesterday” (here I’m kidding on the square), a first beta due in the first half of January 2026 followed by a second beta a month later. The release candidate is scheduled two weeks after the second beta while the final release is expected in April 2026.
This sequence aims to prevent the software stacks in Mageia 10 from becoming obsolete before its stable release and at the same time to ensure users that everything works perfectly as per our standards.
