Server & Client Versioning

Currently Bitwarden clients and server use a yyyy.mm.r convention, indicating, for example, that 2022.5.0 is the base release (.0) of May (.5.) 2022 (2022.). If subsequent minor version and hotfixes are released, for example, they would be 2022.5.1, 2022.5.2, and so on.

Initial monthly releases (those ending in .0) are shared across all clients and server, but clients and server may deviate as some get further updates and hotfixes (.1s, .2s, and so on) while others don't.

This hasn't always been the case, though. Prior to May 2022, clients and server each had different versioning systems. If you're using a client or server with a version 1.xx.x or 2.xx.x, you're using an old version.

[!NOTE] Deprecating Versions When Bitwarden drops support of a version, the entire release and all previous versions will also no longer be supported.

You can also check the bitwarden.sh/bitwarden.ps1 file to see which versions are installed. Running updateself will update these if newer versions are available, and runningupdate will update Bitwarden containers based on what's listed in the .sh/.ps1 file.
