Hi all,
Last March, we released Grype v0.88.0, which is the first Grype to use the Grype DB schema v6. Right now our policy is to support the old schema for a year after the new one comes out. So on March 6, 2026, we will drop support for Grype DB schema v5.
That means that if you’re running Grype older than v0.88.0, it will stop getting vulnerability database updates on March 6, 2026. Please upgrade Grype.
There is a fair amount of operational complexity to having two different Grype DB schemas publishing every night, and we look forward to going down to having only one (until we invent schema v7, of course).
If your use case is broken on a recent Grype, please post here or open a GitHub issue.
Thanks for using Grype!
