The Legato Application Framework release notes provide information on new features and resolved issues in the current release.
Use Leaf to quickly download, install and configure your development environment and get started using Legato.
Legato provides multiple ways to download the source code:
- Leaf - downloads and configures all the software, tools and environment variables you need to start developing with Legato easily. Leaf maintains its own
package repository you can view using:
leaf search -t [target].
- GitHub - clone the FOSS source code (not including proprietary code) from GitHub. This does not include binary apps for connecting to
AirVantage.
Repo command:
repo init -u https://github.com/legatoproject/manifest -m [path/to/manifest.xml] -g default,-cache; repo sync (replace path/to/manifest.xml with the repo manifest)
- Tarball - download the source code directly from Sierra Wireless. The tarball contains both the FOSS and proprietary code.

Legato LTS Releases and Support Policy
Legato is moving to a Long Term Support (LTS) release model where each LTS release is supported for 2 years (24 months) from the initial stable release date. LTS releases will get security and bug fix updates minimum twice a year.
During the support period new features may be added at our discretion depending on whether
- They are needed to meet particular regulatory or MNO requirements or standards for new products
- If they carry a low risk of introducing regressions.
Pre-release versions (beta release, release candidates or development versions) are not covered by any support period. Sometimes a particular feature may be marked as "experimental" or "preview" in a release. These are also not covered by the support period.
It is recommended that customers move to the latest LTS release and regularly update to newer releases before the support period ends. Our policy is to not continue fixing bugs in releases that are beyond the support period.
Example:
- Legato 19.11.0 was released in January 2020 and will be supported through January 2022.
- Legato 21.05.x is estimated to be released by end of Nov. 2021 and is estimated to be supported through Nov. 2023.

Legato Application Framework Release Process
Legato Application Framework releases are not tied to any specific target product release. Once we have released the Legato Application Framework, target vendors (like Sierra Wireless) will take the Legato Application Framework and
integrate it into their own product release.
Legato AF Release Schedule VS Target Vendor Release Schedule
Example:
- Legato AF Team posts release 17.07
- Processor Vendor takes release 17.07 and builds an associated Linux Distro to create a "Legato Platform"
- Processor Vendor tests and releases a "Legato Platform" with their Modem Firmware as "Product Release Y"
- Legato AF Team posts release 17.08, 17.09 and 17.10 without the Processor Vendor packaging it into a Product Release. Releases are able to installed with the vendor's Product Release Y, but may not be officially supported by the Processor Vendor.
- Processor Vendor takes release 17.11 and creates a "Legato Platform" and "Product Release Z", and so on..
For any questions about the Product Releases please contact your Processor Vendor
directly.
