Nautobot Core
Releases – Stable
- v3.1.1 – 2026-04-27
- This release includes a mix of security updates, performance improvements, and bug fixes across the platform. We updated key dependencies to address multiple CVEs, improved CSV export performance for large datasets, and resolved several issues affecting Jobs, Git repository synchronization, Kubernetes job serialization, and Data Validation Rules.
- For App developers and operators, this release also restores compatibility placeholders that were unintentionally removed in 3.1.0 and adds a new
render_default_panels_for_object template tag for more flexible UI rendering.
- v3.1.0 – 2026-04-14
- Nautobot 3.1 brings a major platform upgrade with support for Django 5.2 and Python 3.14, while also dropping support for older PostgreSQL and MySQL versions. This release also introduces a unified
STORAGES configuration model, replacing several legacy storage backend settings and simplifying file storage configuration.
- On the user experience side, Nautobot 3.1 adds asynchronous global search, improved HTMX-powered list rendering, configurable columns, and enhanced Location/Prefix views for much better performance at scale. Jobs also gain a new Job Console view that captures full console output separately from structured job logs, making troubleshooting easier.
- Additional workflow improvements include embedded dependent object creation/search modals, scoped Custom Fields, and expanded bulk rename support across more models. See the full release notes for complete upgrade guidance and all changes.
- v3.0.11 – 2026-04-08
- This release focuses on tightening security, improving VPN usability, and smoothing out a few operational rough edges. This release updates several core dependencies to address multiple CVEs, adds ARM64 support for all published Docker images, and introduces the ability to associate Secrets Groups directly with VPN tunnels for cleaner credential management.
- On the platform side, this release also fixes a number of workflow issues, including scheduled jobs triggering immediately before their intended crontab schedule, VPN filtering inconsistencies, and config context schema sync problems. Smaller UI improvements, like making the rear of full-length devices clickable in rack elevation views, continue to improve day-to-day usability for operators.
Releases – LTM 2.4
- v2.4.32 – 2026-04-27
- This is a maintenance-focused LTM release that delivers several important security updates alongside fixes for GraphQL, permissions handling, and Kubernetes job execution. Dependency updates for Pillow, lxml, and GitPython address multiple CVEs and help keep long-term deployments secure and stable.
- This release also improves backend performance and reliability by fixing GraphQL nested relation filtering that could generate excessive database queries, resolving intermittent Scheduled Job display issues for Git-based Jobs, and correcting Kubernetes job kwarg serialization behavior. Tag-based permission handling was also fixed to prevent 500 errors in environments using more advanced RBAC constraints.
- v2.4.31 – 2026-04-09
- This release delivers a set of security-focused dependency updates together with several operational fixes for scheduled and Kubernetes-based Jobs. Updates to Django, cryptography, and pygments address multiple CVEs, while compatibility updates for pymdown-extensions ensure documentation tooling continues working correctly with the newer pygments release.
- This release also adds ARM64 Docker image support across all published images, making deployments on ARM infrastructure much easier. In addition, scheduled Jobs using custom crontab schedules now correctly wait for their configured runtime instead of executing immediately, and Kubernetes Jobs with sensitive variables are handled more reliably.
