EDA 26.4

It feels like releasing 25.12 was just a hop, skip, and jump ago , but we are back again with another major EDA release - the EDA product team are pleased to announce the release of EDA 26.4.1 !

Being the first major release of 2026, and us having a longer six month development cycle, this release is jam-packed with shiny new capabilities for you to try. PLMs have been feverishly PRD (and CRD) writing, devs have been unremittingly coding, and testers have been aptly automating (yep I found my thesaurus). By the numbers we're introducing 182 new generally available features into EDA, alongside an additional 40 beta features, and 25 alpha features.

This vast array of new features demands a deep dive, which we absolutely plan to provide in the coming weeks. For now, let's have a cursory look at what this release packs.

Bringing style to EDA 26.4

Today marks the release date of EDA 26.4.1, which brings a huge number of new features for you to play around with!

In this blog post, we would like to address the syntax changes that this version brings to most apps pre-packaged in EDA. As you may have noticed, some of your old automation scripts will no longer work with this release.

This is a necessary change that allows us, once and for all, to introduce a common resource syntax across all resources that come with EDA: by introducing syntax rules, we improve uniformity, clarity, and accuracy, which ultimately helps us deliver a quality product.

150 minutes of EDA

A week ago we gathered for the 20^th time with our partners and customers to share our vision for the future of networking. The sunny Tarragona hosted our SReXperts EMEA 2025 and it was a blast. Many after-event social media postings¹²³ can give you a taste of the event.

It was also the first time we hosted the EDA hackathon for the lucky hundred participants who were there with us on the first day to learn about the product and later solve some challenges we carefully outlined on the https://hack.srexperts.net website.

It was great to see so many people getting engaged and excited about the possibilities EDA brings to the industry and getting the most out of the practical exercises.

Yet, we understand that not everyone could make it to the event, and that's why we've decided to share the theoretical part of the hackathon with the community, as we believe in the power of knowledge sharing and collaboration.

It is that time again The EDA product team are pleased to announce the release of EDA 25.4.1

The team have been hard at work; introducing our first non-SR Linux OS, a boatload of QoL UI improvements (bulk edits!), and a number of app extensions to cover additional use cases.

To some numbers! In this release we delivered 152 GA features, 14 alpha features, and 90 beta features (I'll come back to this later).

The beginning of an era EDA

Try EDA Like a Pro

Our tiny but mighty make try-eda command carries out the entire EDA Playground installation. It installs a Kubernetes cluster, deploys the EDA core apps, and creates the necessary playground components along with a simulated network topology.
Automation greatness, one click away. Just like we love it.

But as you build up your EDA experience, you may find yourself eager to step off the beaten path and start customizing your installation experience to your needs. In this blog post we share some new additions made to the Playground installation to make your Try EDA experience more enjoyable.
