- PaaS deployments schedules are not impacted.

As a reminder, a SaaS deployment block is in place ONLY while we update the production branches. During this time, you will still be able to develop and deploy to non-production feature branches. We are wanting to give you as much lead time as possible, should you need to adjust your timeframes. PaaS deployments schedules are not impacted.

PaaS Actions:
Update your codebase to ensure you are running the latest platform base images and packages, and stay aligned to GovCMS best practice:
- GovCMS distribution (24 August 2026) > https://github.com/govCMS/GovCMS/releases/tag/4.5.1
- GovCMS lagoon (24 August 2026) > https://github.com/govCMS/lagoon/releases/tag/11.3.8.2
- GovCMS scaffold (8 December 2025) > https://github.com/govCMS/scaffold/releases/tag/4.0.0
- GovCMS scaffold-tooling (18 June 2026) > https://github.com/govCMS/scaffold-tooling/releases/tag/6.0.8
