24.10-SNAPSHOT url?

For Developers
1

I see references from devs that 24.10 will be branched this month? Where would the images be generated and dumped into?

EDIT: I see them now as of 11/3/2025

Branched recently: https://git.openwrt.org/?p=openwrt/openwrt.git;a=shortlog;h=refs/heads/openwrt-24.10

No images yet:
https://downloads.openwrt.org/releases/24.10-SNAPSHOT

Must be 24.11 if branched this month

If it's branched in October (which looks to be the plan right now) the release will be 24.10, not 24.11. It's written a bit further up on the same page: https://openwrt.org/about/history#release_history

Stable release version numbers are made from the year and the month when a new stable branch was created.

As an example, 23.05 was branched in May 2023 but released in October that year.

If it follows the previous releases it will be released as release candidates at https://downloads.openwrt.org/releases/24.10.0-rc1/, then incrementing to rc2, rc3 etc. until it's ready to be released after enough testing has been done. It will most likely be announced in the forum as usual so just keep an eye out in https://forum.openwrt.org/c/announcements/14

The first sign of an incoming 24.xx release will be the packages directory. Release can't be done without the packges being built.

Actually, the earliest signal is creating the new release branch in the OpenWrt source repo.

That is first, then the phase1 images buildbot can build the basic images and the SDKs. Once those are ready, the vanilla packages can be then built by the phase2 buildbot using those SDKs.

Agreed. More inner core answer than mine.

From what I've seen over the past several years, ETAs on the OpenWrt-Devel mailing list are usually overly optimistic by a month or more. If they're estimating a branch from main in October, that makes me think it'll really be more like November or December. But we'll see.
