We are exploring the following features for the Vaadin roadmap:

• Adding many new, simpler UI components for your convenience.
• Updated testing support unified both for Flow and Hilla
• Observability, performance, and security monitoring features in Vaadin Control Center.
• Two-way full-stack CRUD generation in Vaadin Copilot, enabling both UI-to-data model and data model-to-UI generation.
• AI-enabled UI components designed for in-app chat and data analytics.
• Continuously improving the developer experience by working on issues reported by the community. Please report and upvote issues that are important to you on GitHub. 

If you are interested in participating as a pilot user for any of these features or have ideas to contribute to our roadmap, please reach out.

Maintained older releases

Vaadin 23

Vaadin 23 is the latest version to support Java 11, Spring Boot 2.6.6-2.7x, and Java Servlet API 3.1. It was supported for free until August 2024. Commercial support is available until Mar 2037. All fixes are done to the latest released version.

We recommend this version for OSGi and Portlet users, as these aren't currently supported for V24 until they provide support for Jakarta EE 10.

Release model

Starting from Vaadin 23.0 and Hilla 1.0, we adopted a simpler release model where:

• Minor releases are released every 3 months. These include new features, and old functionality is kept as deprecated. Upgrading is a low effort.
• Major releases don't have a fixed schedule, but we expect to have a new major every 12-24 months. These include significant dependency changes and removing previously deprecated functionality. Upgrading may require more effort.

We recommend always using the latest version, which is stable and also has the latest features for your project.

Maintenance schedule

Minor versions are supported for 3 more months after the next minor is released. All major versions are supported for free for 6 months after a new major is released. 

Premium, Ultimate, Prime, and Enterprise customers can choose to stay on any major version for 5 years since the first major release (see End of Commercial Maintenance in the table below) and get Extended Maintenance for another 10 years. With the warranty service, we fix issues you encounter in the version you currently use.
