About DAL OS feature releases

A DAL OS feature release (non-LTS) is a firmware release introducing new or significantly enhanced functionality. Feature releases may include new features, user-facing changes, API additions, or other platform enhancements. Updating to a feature release may require additional validation, migration steps, or backward-compatibility considerations, depending on the scope of change. Feature releases are delivered independently of the LTS release cadence.

What it allows us to do

Feature releases allow Digi to deliver new features, enhancements, and platform changes independently of the LTS cycle, enabling faster innovation without impacting the stability of production systems.

Why it matters to you

Separating feature releases matters because it allows you to adopt new functionality on your own timeline without being forced into potentially disruptive changes, while still receiving critical security and stability updates through LTS releases. This gives you greater control over risk, validation, and deployment planning, especially in production or regulated environments.

In simple terms

DAL OS feature releases provide new functionality, enhancements, and platform updates on a flexible, independent cadence, allowing you to access and adopt new capabilities when it fits your needs and validation processes without impacting stable LTS deployments.
