Kea 2.6 reached the end of maintenance with the release of Kea 3.2 in June, 2026. There are now two supported versions available, the LTS version Kea 3.0, and the newer Kea 3.2, which will have one year of support until we produce Kea 3.4. Our long-term release plans are outlined in our Knowledgebase article, ISC’s Software Support Policy and Version Numbering
Kea 3.0.4 and Kea 3.2.0 software and release notes can be downloaded from our website at https://www.isc.org/download/#Kea.
