3.6 Lifespan
|
|
|
|
|
|
============
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
3.6 will receive bugfix updates approximately every 3-6 months for
|
|
|
|
|
|
approximately 18 months. After the release of 3.7.0 final, a final
|
|
|
|
|
|
3.6 bugfix update will be released. After that, it is expected that
|
|
|
|
|
|
security updates (source only) will be released until 5 years after
|
|
|
|
|
|
the release of 3.6 final, so until approximately December 2021.
