Jennic Limited distributes a version of Code::Blocks customized to work with its microcontrollers. In April 2020, a critical software vulnerability was found in the Code::Blocks IDE, identified by CVE-2020-10814. Version 20.03 is the latest stable release however for the most up-to-date version the user can download the relatively stable nightly build or download the source code from SVN.

The versioning scheme was changed to that of Ubuntu, with the major and minor number representing the year and month of the release. The first stable release was on February 28, 2008, with the version number changed to 8.02. Instead, there were nightly builds of the latest SVN version made available on a daily basis. After releasing two release candidate versions, 1.0rc1 on Jand 1.0rc2 on October 25, 2005, instead of making a final release, the project developers started adding many new features, with the final release being repeatedly postponed.
