Linear: Releases

Watch video Plan and track your software releases directly from Linear. Linear Releases integrates with your CI/CD tools to precisely track the deployment environment, version, and status of every issue, giving team members and agents your full deployment context. Issue statuses automatically update when their associated code changes land in production. See what’s live to customers, not just what’s been merged. Write release notes for a single release or for a range of releases. Generate release notes with Linear Agent based on included issues. Releases supports both continuous deployment and scheduled release methodologies. Add up to 15 release pipelines on Business, or unlimited on Enterprise plans. Learn more in our documentation .

Outbound notifications are now marked as auto-generated, and inbound auto-responses are ignored to prevent email loops.
