# Release Notes

Release notes for the Monad platform, organized by **release version**.

Monad ships continuously — the version often advances several times a week.
To keep these notes readable, they are grouped by **minor version series** (for
example, `2.56`) rather than one page per patch release. Each series page
accumulates the notable changes across every patch in that series.

## Finding your version

Self-hosted installs can check their deployed version with:

```bash
helm list -n monad
```

The `CHART` column shows the installed version, for example `monad-2.56.4`. The
release notes for that deployment live on the page for its minor series — `2.56`
in this example.

## How these notes are organized

- **Series pages** (e.g. `2.56`) cover every patch release in that series, newest
  series first in the sidebar.
- Each page leads with **customer-facing highlights** — new connectors, features,
  and notable fixes — followed by any **breaking changes** that require action on
  upgrade.
- Breaking changes are always called out explicitly with the migration step
  required.

:::note
Monad SaaS customers are always on the latest release; the version-series pages
are most relevant to self-hosted deployments choosing when to upgrade.
