We’ve got ELevate Project updates to share. + +The ELevate Project currently follows 3 stages for delivering updates: + +* New upgrade paths, features, bug fixes, and new versions of leapp-repository and leapp-data are first introduced in **ELevate NG**. The AlmaLinux Team, along with the community, tests these enhancements. +* ELevate NG then moves to general **Testing**, during which it gathers additional data, features, and improvements. +* Once these updates are thoroughly tested and approved, the AlmaLinux Team releases them to **ELevate Stable**. + +Today's changes are available in **ELevate NG** and **ELevate Testing**. We expect them to be released to Stable after the general availability of AlmaLinux OS 10 Stable. + +### ELevate Testing Changes + +Previously we've announced new upgrade paths available as a part of ELevate NG: +* AlmaLinux OS 9 to AlmaLinux 10.0 beta. +* CentOS Stream 9 to CentOS Stream 10. + +**Please note: These upgrades are for testing purposes only and are not intended for production environments.** + +These paths are now available as a part of ELevate Testing. This means that when AlmaLinux 10.0 Stable is released, these paths will be updated for ELevate Stable. + +### ELevate NG Changes + +Based on our community requests, we've added an upgrade path to ELevate NG - to AlmaLinux Kitten 10. + +Additionally, we have updated ELevate NG to include leapp-repository upstream version [0.22.0](https://github.com/AlmaLinux/leapp-repository/pull/139) with the latest fixes and EL 10 support. + +### Call for Testers + +We welcome the community to help us test these new upgrade paths and share their experiences. Your input will directly contribute to the quality and development of the final release. + +Detailed instructions for testing this migration can be found: +* [ELevate Testing](https://wiki.almalinux.org/elevate/ELevate-testing-guide.html) +* [ELevate NG](https://wiki.almalinux.org/elevate/ELevate-NG-testing-guide.html) + +Please, report any bugs you may see to the [ELevate leapp repository](https://github.com/AlmaLinux/leapp-repository). + +### Will I be able to use ELevate to upgrade from 10 beta to 10 stable when it's released? + +No, because you can update systems running 10 beta using the regular update process with detailed instructions that will be provided in the release notes. + +When 10 stable is released, ELevate will support upgrades from version 9 to 10 stable. However, ELevate will not support upgrades from 10 beta to 10 stable. + +### Contribute and Get Help + +We thank you for your continued support and contributions to the ELevate Project and AlmaLinux OS. + +Have feedback, questions, or just want to join the discussion? Join us in the ~migration channel on the [AlmaLinux Community Chat](https://chat.almalinux.org/almalinux/channels/migration). + +**Happy testing!** diff --git a/static/blog-images/2025/2025-04-03-elevate-updates.png b/static/blog-images/2025/2025-04-03-elevate-updates.png new file mode 100644 index 0000000..c05dfa1 Binary files /dev/null and b/static/blog-images/2025/2025-04-03-elevate-updates.png differ
