Current state
Broadleaf is operating six concurrent release trains (1.7.x through 2.3.x) — a footprint reflecting enterprise customers on staggered upgrade timelines. The newest 2.3.0-GA adds Node 22 and Node 24 support, drops Node 18 and 20, and ships a NextJS Starter 2.0.0 alongside CommerceSDK 1.7.2, AdminWeb 1.10.13, and an expanding microfrontend library (commerce-quote, commerce-shared, commerce-subscription). Older trains continue receiving point updates.
Where it's heading
The team is advancing the modern stack — new Node majors, NextJS Starter major bumps, microfrontend buildout — while sustaining backports across long-tail release trains. This dual cadence is the operating model of a B2B commerce framework whose customers can't all upgrade at once. The growth in commerce microfrontends (subscription, quote, shared) signals deliberate move toward composable, packaged storefront capabilities.
Prediction
Expect 2.3.x point releases over the next month addressing integration issues from the Node 22/24 cutover and NextJS Starter 2.0. Older release trains will narrow to security and dependency backports as 2.3 stabilizes.
