New community edition (Release 2024)

Hi Angela,

I'm sure an official announcement will be made sometime soon, but the current plan is to release a new 2025 open version of Aras Innovator sometime later this year. The plan is to base it off of our official Release 35 which contains some very cool new UI updates.

I'll be sure to follow up here once we commit to an official release date!

Hi Chris,

thanks for the great news!!! This information is very helpful!

In general the latest releases all had a excellent mix between core and UI/UX improvements. The new 4 month release cycle really helped a lot. The new releases contain "something for everyone" to look forward too.

I’m eager to see how Aras will adapt the open release rule set and conditions. The user restrictions could have been more closely aligned with expectations. Back than even the Aras sales people I talked to ran out of ideas about which version would suit our environment best. I hope Release 2025 will finally be the answer! 

I know it’s still early - Release 35 hasn’t even been released yet - but is there already any information about possible user limitations in Release 2025?

It’s been really hard to get any concrete information — but on the bright side, there haven’t been any negative signals either. I imagine the forum team might even be on my side, just hoping I’ll finally stop bringing up this topic.  

In any case, I really appreciate all past and future support from fellow users, partners, or anyone else who cared about this topic. Thanks!

Release 35 has been released last week! Kudos to the person who writes the much more detailed release notes! I approve all of the new UI improvements - and I haven´t even seen them yet. There are even a few unexpected new features like the "no content" indicator and some type-ahead stuff for relationships. Definitely useful!

Of course we still have to wait a bit until the release of Release 2025. But I think it will become useful and reliable new release. For me personally there are only two possible outcomes of this discussion:

- Release 2025 is the perfect release I was waiting for and I will praise it to heaven in many many posts to come.
OR
- I will throw a torch at everything in case of some unexpected new usage conditions

I think in both cases I will keep bringing up this topic over and over again. So stay tuned! :)
