# MariaDB Enterprise Manager 26.07.0 Release Notes

**Release Date:** 08 July 2026

Release 26.07.0 is a GA release.

### New Features <a href="#new-features" id="new-features"></a>

#### Air-gapped deployment support

Enterprise Manager can now be deployed and updated in air-gapped environments, pulling the installation tarball and container images from a private OCI-compatible registry.

#### **ARM64 architecture support**

The Enterprise Manager server can now be deployed on ARM64 (aarch64) hosts in addition to x86-64. The installer detects the host architecture automatically and pulls the matching container images.

### Improvement

#### Backend rewritten in Go

The Enterprise Manager backend has been rewritten in Go, modernizing its foundation. This is an internal change with no impact on existing configuration or workflows. In-place upgrade from the previous release is supported: the installer preserves existing configuration, TLS certificates, and data volumes.

### Packaging <a href="#packaging" id="packaging"></a>

* Enterprise Manager is delivered as a suite of container images (via MariaDB Enterprise Docker Registry).
* The Agent is delivered via the `mema-agent` OS package via RPM/DEB packages (via MariaDB Enterprise Tools repository).
