The monthly core patch (bug fix) release window is this Wednesday, February 01. WordPress maintenance support plans 8.2.6 and 7.54 will be released with fixes for WordPress maintenance support plans 8 and 7.
Also, WordPress maintenance support plans 8.3.0-alpha1 will be released during the window.
To ensure a reliable release window for the patch release, there will be a WordPress maintenance support plans 8.3.x and 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 releases, see the 8.2.x commit log and 7.x commit log.
Other upcoming core release windows after this week include:
Wednesday, February 15 (security release window and beta window for 8.3.x)
