# Release Notes (/release-notes)



Release notes for the KubeMQ server, the kmq CLI, and the client SDKs. Each release gets its own page covering what's new, what changed, breaking changes, and how to upgrade.

## Current release [#current-release]

**KubeMQ v3** (v3.1.4, August 2026) is the largest release in the product's history — a rebuilt storage and clustering core, drop-in support for the messaging protocols you already use, ten client SDKs, and a new management experience.
