Welcome to our monthly Nautobot community update! We’ll dive into the latest updates across the Nautobot community, highlighting the key milestones, releases, and noteworthy contributions. From new features and enhancements to bug fixes and events, there’s always something happening in our dynamic ecosystem. Open source is at the core of our values, empowering individuals and organizations to collaborate, innovate, and make a positive impact together. This monthly blog post is our way of celebrating the accomplishments and contributions of our Nautobot community members.

The release candidate of Nautobot v3.0 is now out and many of the most popular Nautobot apps have compatible prereleases that can be tested with it. If you’d like to check out the next major release of Nautobot you can install it yourself or head over to the demo site at https://next.demo.nautobot.com. Keep in mind that the prereleases are not guaranteed to be upgradable to the full release so you should only install them in a non-production environment!
