Today, we are pleased to announce the release of CFEngine 3.23.0! This is a non-LTS (non-supported) release, where we introduce new features for users to test and give feedback on, allowing us to polish before the next LTS. (CFEngine 3.24 LTS is scheduled to release summer 2024).
The codename for this release is anniversary, as this year is CFEngine’s 30th anniversary. CFEngine was initially released in 1993, and to mark this special occasion we’ve created a limited edition anniversary coin:
The license of our in-house C utility and compatibility library libntech was recently changed from GPLv3 to Apache License Version 2.0 which makes the library suitable for more projects thanks to the more permissive license. While GPLv3 practically required any project using libntech to be licensed under GPLv3 as well, the Apache License v2.0 allows any open source as well as proprietary software to utilize our utility library, keeping the copyright attributions.

Today, we are pleased to announce the release of CFEngine 3.21.0! The focus of this new version has been unification. Across our websites and UI, you should see that it’s a much more modern and unified experience, whether you’re reading this blog post on cfengine.com, browsing the new documentation site, looking for modules on the CFEngine Build website, or adding input to modules within Build in Mission Portal.
This release also marks an important event, the beginning of the 3.21 LTS series, which will be supported for 3 years.
Our beloved cfbs CLI tool for working with CFEngine Build is rapidly evolving. At the time of writing, we are currently at version 3.2.1. Thus I would like to take this opportunity to talk a bit about the latest and greatest features; including support for users to manipulate input parameters in modules, as well as a couple of new build steps.
If you haven’t yet got a hold of the latest version of cfbs, you can update it with pip using the following command:
We are pleased to announce two new patch releases for CFEngine, version 3.15.7 and 3.18.3! These releases mainly contain bug fixes and dependency updates.
3.15: Last release and end of life 3.15.7 is the last planned release for the 3.15 LTS series, which is supported until December 2022. Please reach out to support if you need help with upgrading or need to purchase extended support; on January 1st 2023, 3.15 is no longer supported.
Today, we are pleased to announce the release of CFEngine 3.20.0! Over the past few years we’ve focused on ease of use, new user experience, and out of the box value, giving you the ability to do much more through only the Mission Portal Web UI. This has resulted in several important steps forward; policy analyzer, compliance reports, host specific data (CMDB), and CFEngine Build with custom promise types and other modules. In this release we take this one step further, focusing on modules and modularity, and the ability to find and use modules, making changes to your infrastructure, directly from Mission Portal (API or GUI). The 3.20 release is not supported, but it’s an excellent opportunity for our users to see and test what will be in the next release - CFEngine 3.21 LTS, about 6 months from now.
