Releases
This section covers questions related to Lucernex releases.
The Lucernex release cycle is six weeks. After four weeks of development, Lucernex releases to Train. Users then have two weeks to review enhancements made to the product, train their users, develop new configurations, and communicate with Product Management about bugs. After two weeks, the release goes live in Production.
You can find the most up-to-date release schedule on the Release Calendar page.
Product Management reserves the right to make rare adjustments to the planned release schedule to ensure the quality of the Lucernex product.
Releases are deployed to the US and Global Production environments during the maintenance window, beginning at 9 p.m. Central U.S. Time. Our deployment time to Production for our UK customers is 6 p.m. CT.
