Relativity Server release cadence and patches

Relativity Server releases are scheduled and announced based on product development timelines. Hot fixes and patch packages for currently supported versions of server are provided regularly to address specific needs.

To learn more about how to apply a patch to your environment, see Applying a Server hotfix or patch.

Server patch overview

A server patch includes all current hotfixes and some additional defect fixes deemed necessary to address in the current Relativity Server release. Server patches are cumulative, meaning content released in the first patch will be included in subsequent patches. Server patches are delivered using DropIt.

For more information on DropIt, see Standalone DropIt deployment instructions (legacy workflow).

Note: You can download patches from the appropriate file library on the Relativity Community. You need valid Community credentials to sign in.

Release cadence for Server patches

The following table lists planned upcoming Relativity Server patches.

Note: In an effort to deliver increasingly reliable and low-risk quality improvements to Server, we recently adjusted our patch cadence. Moving forward, we will aim to deliver a patch for each supported version of Server twice per year. There is no change to our hot fix policy and delivery approach. Relativity has ongoing initiatives aimed at improving our patching architecture and user experience, and we will revisit our patching cadence as our patching platform evolves.
