The Zope development and support roadmap. **Last updated: October 2021**

If you use Plone, please visit the `Plone release schedule
<https://plone.org/download/release-schedule>`_ for all Plone-specific details.
Support for Zope releases aims to track support for the respective Plone
version(s) built on top of them.

Zope 6 - development version
----------------------------

* TBD (no release planned yet)
Zope 6 - future version
-----------------------
At this moment there are no planned or actual changes that introduce backwards
incompatibilities and thus merit a new major version, so there is no planned
release date for Zope 6. All development still happens on Zope 5.


Zope 5 - stable version
-----------------------
Plone 6, which is still under development, will use Zope 5.

* Python support:
- 3.6
- 3.6 (`Python 3.6 will reach end of support in December 2021
<https://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-0494/#lifespan>`_, Zope will stop
supporting it officially at that time)
- 3.7
- 3.8
- 3.9
- 3.10 (planned for early 2022)

* Support schedule:
- Full support: ongoing
