Important Notice

Composer is offered on a quarterly release schedule, and our version numbering system reflects this. The current major release of Composer is v24.4.

​
Current Releases

The quarterly release model replaces the previous LTS release model. The last LTS release was v7. Each quarterly release is supported using service packs to address any issues until the next quarterly release is available. Subsequent fixes for a non-current quarterly release are limited to the most severe issues for the next three quarters. Upgrade to the most current quarterly release for the most up to date support and features.
