This page lists every Apache Ranger release, from the first incubating release in 2014 to the current stable release, with the release date, the release notes and where to download the artifacts. Release notes for the 2.x line are part of this site; notes for 1.x and older releases live on the Apache Ranger cwiki and are summarized in 1.x and older.
Release dates are the dates recorded for the corresponding fixVersion in the Apache Ranger JIRA project. The source code for every release is tagged in Git as release-ranger-<version> from 0.7.1 onward; older releases carry tags such as ranger-0.7.0, release-0.6.3 or only release-candidate tags (ranger-<version>-rc<n>). The master branch builds version 3.0.0-SNAPSHOT.

Each 2.x line has had a single release so far; fixes ship in the next minor version rather than in patch releases. Every 2.x release is also published to Maven Central under the org.apache.ranger group, and releases from 2.4.0 onward have Docker images on Docker Hub. See Download and verify for details.
The release notes for these versions are on the cwiki. 1.x and older summarizes the highlights of each release.
