Vaadin releases & roadmap

Roadmap details available on GitHub

Understanding the release model

Minor Releases (e.g., 24.9, 25.1): Released every 3 months. These include new features and improvements. Old functionality may be deprecated but kept to ensure a low-effort upgrade.

Major Releases (e.g., 24, 25): Released every 12–24 months. These allow us to modernize the framework by updating baselines (such as Java, Spring Boot) and removing deprecated functionality. Upgrading may require more effort but unlocks the latest ecosystem

Current releases

Vaadin 25

The stable, long-term supported version for production apps.

Vaadin 25 is the recommended version for all new projects. It offers the latest stable features with a focus on ease of upgrade and backward compatibility (e.g. Java 21 and Spring Boot 4.x support).

Read more about the 25.0 release in our blog post.

Latest version: 25.2.2

Maintenance: Free maintenance until V26 release (+ 3 months).

Upcoming releases

Vaadin 25.3

Target release Q3 2026

For Vaadin 25.3, we are focusing on a set of strategic areas that support where Vaadin is going next: helping teams build, run, and evolve business applications in an AI-assisted world.

Focus areas

AI-assisted Vaadin development

We are improving how AI agents understand, build, and verify Vaadin applications.

This includes better Vaadin-specific knowledge for agents, improved examples and patterns, more reliable verification workflows, and targeted improvements to Vaadin APIs, components, tooling, and documentation.

We are also using these findings to evolve Vaadin itself: improving the framework, refining existing components, and creating new components where they help remove common friction. The goal is to make Vaadin even more productive and reliable for both AI agents and human developers building serious business applications.

Production confidence in modern cloud environments

We are improving the experience of deploying, monitoring, and troubleshooting Vaadin applications in modern production environments.

This includes better deployment guidance for cloud environments and continued investment in production observability. We want teams to have a clearer path from development to production, with better visibility into how their Vaadin applications behave once they are running.

AI-enabled business application patterns

We are exploring how Vaadin applications can support AI-assisted workflows inside business applications while keeping users informed and in control.

This includes patterns for agents driving Vaadin applications, review and approval flows, validation, and auditability. The goal is to understand which AI-enabled business application patterns are useful, trustworthy, and worth turning into reusable Vaadin capabilities.
