Software Lifecycle

TrueNAS Quality Lifecycle

TrueNAS releases follow a general adoption guideline for their lifetime. Starting with the NIGHTLY builds, each stage of a major release incorporates more testing cycles and bug fixes that represent a maturation of the release. With each version release stage, users are encouraged to install, upgrade, or otherwise begin using the major version, depending on the specific TrueNAS deployment and use case:

Release StageCompleted QA CyclesTypical UseDescription

ALPHA1TestersNot much field testing
BETA2EnthusiastsMajor Feature Complete, but expect some bugs
RC4Home UsersSuitable for non-critical deployments
RELEASE6General UseSuitable for less complex deployments
U17Business UseSuitable for more complex deployments

The Software Status page shows the latest recommendations for using the various TrueNAS software releases.

Nightly Changelog

Notable changes:

  • Due to security vulnerabilities and maintainability issues, the S3 service is deprecated in TrueNAS CORE 13.0 and scheduled for removal in CORE 13.3. Beginning in CORE 13.0-U6, the CORE web interface generates an alert when the deprecated service is either actively running or is enabled to start on boot. Users should migrate to a separately maintained MinIO plugin or otherwise move any production data away from the S3 service storage location before upgrading to a 13.3 pre-release version. See the CORE 13.0 tutorial for detailed migration instructions. See also Feature Deprecations.

  • The web UI Shell is removed in CORE 13.3. Users can continue to access the shell using SSH or a physical system connection with serial cable or other direct method (NAS-124392).

  • The Plugins, Jails, and Virtual Machines features are in maintenance mode and are offered to the TrueNAS community “as-is”. TrueNAS Enterprise customers with a critical need for virtualization features should consider TrueNAS SCALE for officially tested and supported virtualization features.
