To keep everything in one place, new versions within this Release cycle will be added to this first post. (and I only report the Release Notes here as they can be found in the official Bitwarden Release Notes and in the released versions in the Bitwarden GitHub repositories – I’m not a Bitwarden employee)
Some new features may be behind a feature flag, so it can take a few days for those features to get “activated” by Bitwarden. (in rare cases, new features can also temporarily be disabled again via those feature flags when there are unforeseen issues)
Some Bitwarden apps/clients are distributed by “stores” (like Apple’s App Store, Microsoft Store, Google Play Store, Mozilla’s Extension store…) so the availability of new versions via those channels also depends on the approval processes of these “stores” and thereof the respective roll-out can take some time.
