About Tableau
Tableau changes its release cadence and ships 2026.1 while keeping 2025.3 on a parallel patch track.
Tableau has shifted its product and maintenance release cadence — the change is announced inside the downloads page rather than detailed in this feed, so the precise new schedule isn't visible from the scrape. The 2026.1 line is now the current major (released March 3, 2026), with 2025.3.4 shipping on March 19 and 2025.3.3 on February 19. Older 2025.2 has fallen into limited support since November 30, 2025. The visible cadence is parallel maintenance across at least two majors plus a fresh 2026.1 line.
