3.9 Lifespan
|
||
------------
|
||
|
||
3.9 will receive bugfix updates approximately every month for
|
||
approximately 12 months. After the release of 3.10.0 final, a final
|
||
3.9 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 3.9 final, so until approximately October 2025.
