Cloudflare Tunnel

INFRA · APIS
Velocity5.0

Daemon that creates secure outbound-only tunnels to Cloudflare

Ships on a calendar cadence and tells you nothing about what changed.

Current state
cloudflared tags releases on a date-based scheme — 2026.6.0 through 2026.7.3 — at roughly one to three per month. The release notes contain nothing but SHA256 checksums for the build matrix. There is no change description, no fixed-issue list, and no feature note in any entry in the visible window.
Where it's heading
What the checksums do reveal is the shape of the distribution: packages for macOS as pkg and tgz on both architectures, Linux across 386, amd64 and arm64 as raw binaries, deb and rpm, and a separate FIPS-validated Linux build line. That FIPS variant shipping in every release points at regulated and government deployments as a supported constituency. Beyond packaging breadth, this feed does not support conclusions about product direction.
Prediction
The date-based tags will keep arriving on the same monthly rhythm. What goes into them is not something this changelog reveals — readers who need that have to go to the repository's commit history instead.

Recent moves

    2026.7.3

    The fourth July build. As with every entry in this feed, the release note is a checksum manifest only — no change description is published, so nothing about its contents can be assessed from the changelog.

    2026.7.2

    A mid-July build published six days after 2026.7.1, again with checksums as the entire release note. The rapid succession of three point releases in July is the only signal available here.

    2026.7.1

    Published one day after 2026.7.0, a turnaround short enough to suggest a follow-up fix, though the checksum-only note does not confirm it.

    2026.7.0

    Opens the July release line three weeks after 2026.6.1. Checksums only, covering the same matrix of macOS, Linux, deb, rpm and FIPS builds as every other entry.

    2026.6.0
