A burning topic of the past few months (or longer) has been: when will Mautic 5 be released?
Good news!🥳
We have determined the foreseen release dates!🥳
As Ruth explained in a [recent blog post](https://forum.mautic.org/t/you-have-the-power-to-get-mautic-5-launched-soon/29485), you all have the power to make the release happen in the foreseen timeframe (see below).
The main blocker in getting `beta1` out, is the open issue [Upgrade ckeditor 4 to 5](https://github.com/mautic/mautic/pull/12641) where we need to address some issues with the grapesJS builder.
the main blockers for `rc1`, are the (current) [15 open issues](https://github.com/mautic/mautic/milestone/91) that need to be addressed.
So whether you’re a Mautic user, tech enthusiast, or a seasoned developer, you can drive the launch forward by dedicating just an hour or two of your week!
### the release dates:
without any unsforeen issues or delays, there are the upcoming important dates:
- Mautic 5 beta1: 9 October 2023
- Mautic 5 rc1: 23 October 2023
- Mautic 5 GA: 6 November 2023
If needed and realistic, in-between release will be made
### the importance of those dates:
- Once the `beta1` version is released, we will open the `5.1` branch.
All features after that date have to start from the `5.1` branch.
**beta1 can be seen as the starting point for your tests and upgrade path for M4.**
- Once the `rc1` version is released, only bugfixes critical to the release will be merged into 5.x, and will be added to the `GA` release.
