# NetBox 4.6 is GA: New Foundations for the System of Record Era

**[NetBox Labs](https://daily.dev/sources/netboxlabs)** · 4 min read · 1 upvotes · 0 comments

## Summary

NetBox v4.6 is now generally available, accompanied by Custom Objects v0.5 and Branching v1.0.3. Custom Objects v0.5 enables teams to extend the NetBox data model without writing code, supporting polymorphic relationships and first-class object behavior (filterable, queryable, API-ready). Branching v1.0.3 is production-hardened, offering atomic change staging with merge reports, expanded test coverage, and CI/CD webhook integration — enabling safe bulk changes, audit trails, and AI agent workflows where proposed changes can be reviewed before merging. NetBox v4.6 itself advances trustworthiness for automation pipelines, compliance teams, and AI-assisted network management. Both plugins are source-available and free, pre-installed in commercial subscriptions.
