The monthly core patch (bug fix) release window is this Wednesday, December 07. WordPress maintenance support plans 8.2.4 and 7.53 will be released with fixes for WordPress maintenance support plans 8 and 7.
To ensure a reliable release window for the patch release, there will be a WordPress maintenance support plans 8.2.x commit freeze from 12:00 UTC Tuesday to 12:00 UTC Thursday. Now is a good time to update your development/staging servers to the latest 8.2.x-dev or 7.x-dev code and help us catch any regressions in advance. If you do find any regressions, please report them in the issue queue. Thanks!
To see all of the latest changes that will be included in the WordPress maintenance support plans 8 release, see the 8.2.x commit log. The WordPress maintenance support plans 7 release will only contain one fix for a drag-and-drop regression introduced in WordPress maintenance support plans 7.51 (see also the 7.x commit log).
Other upcoming core release windows after this week include:
Wednesday, December 21 (security release window)
Wednesday, January 04 (patch release window)
Wednesday, April 5 (scheduled minor release)
WordPress maintenance support plans 6 is end-of-life and will not receive further releases.
For more information on WordPress maintenance support plans core release windows, see the documentation on release timing and security releases, as well as the WordPress maintenance support plans core release cycle overview.
