## Versions

Frappe and ERPNext follow yearly major versions. Knowing where you are helps when reading docs and installing apps.

### Major versions

| Version | Status (early 2026) | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| v15 | Stable | Most production sites. LTS-style maintenance. |
| v16 | Active development | Latest features, breaking changes still landing |
| v14 | Legacy | Out-of-support; upgrade recommended |

The version your site is running:

```bash
bench version
```

### Branch names

| Git branch | What |
|---|---|
| `develop` | Bleeding edge — new features land here first. Don't run on production. |
| `version-15` | Current stable |
| `version-14` | Previous stable, security patches only |

When installing an app, you should match its branch to your Frappe version: `bench get-app erpnext --branch version-15`.

### App compatibility
Each Frappe app declares which Frappe versions it supports. Before installing on production:
1. Check the app's README or `pyproject.toml`
2. Confirm your `bench version`
3. Read the app's release notes for breaking changes

### Upgrades
Major version upgrades involve schema migrations and potentially custom-code review. On Frappe Cloud / Prilk-managed plans, we coordinate the upgrade with you. On self-hosted, follow the official upgrade guide carefully and back up before starting.
