Since January 2023, we’ve adopted a consistent release cycle for Nuxt, following semver. We aim for major framework releases every year, with an expectation of patch releases every week or so and minor releases every month or so. They should never contain breaking changes except within options clearly marked as experimental.We are planning a slight variation from this plan for Nuxt 4 and Nuxt 5. Nuxt 4 will be a stability-focused release containing all compatibilityVersion: 4 features, and will be followed shortly by Nuxt 5 which will include an upgrade to Nitro v3 and additional changes.This approach separates breaking changes into manageable phases, allowing for better ecosystem testing and smoother migrations.
We commit to support each major version of Nuxt for a minimum of six months after the release of the next major version, and to providing an upgrade path for current users at that point.
The current active version of Nuxt is v4 which is available as nuxt on npm with the latest tag.Nuxt 3 will continue to receive maintenance updates (bug fixes and security patches) until the end of July 2026.Each active version has its own nightly releases which are generated automatically.
