This article is to announce the availability of HDP 2.5.5. This release builds on top of the last releases, HDP 2.5.3 for on prem, and HDP 2.5.4 on Azure HDInsight.

The key point and changes in this release are fixing big issues for our customers. This release has over 300 product changes that increase stability, fix errors, and improve usability of the product. There are no large features introduced.

The release details can be found in the HDP 2.5.5 release notes.
