As part of our ongoing commitment to reliability and transparency, we have adopted a continuous delivery model for Khoros K1, Care, Spredfast Marketing and Flow. This means improvements, fixes, and enhancements are deployed to production incrementally rather than through large, infrequent releases. This approach minimizes operational risk, accelerates value delivery, and ensures that your environment benefits from the most stable and secure version of our product at all times. We recognize that visibility into product evolution is essential for planning and governance. To provide this transparency, we are introducing a regular changelog where you can review all functional, performance, and stability updates that have been deployed. Each entry will briefly describe what has changed and when, serving as a single source of truth for product updates. Our initial plan is to publish changelog updates on a regular cadence (approximately bi-weekly) on the release notes space, ensuring timely and consolidated communication without excessive notifications. As the product continues to evolve, we may adjust this frequency to align with customer needs and product maturity—always maintaining consistency and clarity in how updates are communicated.48Views0likes0CommentsKhoros Communities 25.10 - Release Notes
