Metronic Bootstrap v8: Maintenance Updates and Bug Fixes


Hi there,

It has been quite some time since Metronic Bootstrap v8.3.2 received a maintenance update. Compared with the ongoing updates to Tailwind v9, this makes us concerned that the Bootstrap version is being neglected, especially while bugs reported since the latest release remain unresolved.

We are not asking for new features. Our main priorities are bug fixes and compatibility updates that allow us to upgrade dependencies such as DataTables, Select2, Dropzone.js, and Flatpickr.

You previously committed to supporting both the Bootstrap and Tailwind versions, so we would appreciate continued maintenance for both.

Could you please share the planned release date for the next Bootstrap v8 update and clarify its ongoing support roadmap?

Thanks,
Jason

Hi Jason,

Understanding

You're asking about the maintenance status of Metronic Bootstrap v8 — specifically whether it's being neglected now that v9 gets more frequent updates, and when the next v8 update will be released. You're also looking for updates to DataTables, Select2, Dropzone.js, and Flatpickr dependencies.

Current Status

Metronic v8 is still actively maintained. The latest release is v8.3.3 (February 20, 2026), which included updates to DataTables, CKEditor, Webpack, Gulp, FontAwesome, ApexCharts, and npm security fixes — all in the HTML version.

Prior to that, v8.3.2 (September 2025) updated Bootstrap 5.3.8, DataTables Select, FullCalendar, TinyMCE, and other core dependencies.

Every Metronic purchase includes both v8 (Bootstrap) and v9 (Tailwind) packages — that commitment hasn't changed, and v8 continues to receive maintenance updates as shown in the changelog.

Regarding Your Specific Dependencies

  • DataTables — was updated in v8.3.3 and v8.3.2 (DataTables Select v3.1.0)
  • Select2, Dropzone.js, Flatpickr — these are on our radar for future v8 updates

Release Roadmap

I don't have a confirmed release date for the next v8 update to share at this point. This is a question I'll escalate to our team so they can provide a more concrete timeline.

You can track all releases on the changelog: https://keenthemes.com/metronic/changelog

Next Steps

Our team will follow up with you regarding the roadmap and planned v8 updates. If there are specific bugs you're encountering, feel free to share the details and I'll make sure they're logged as well.
