================ Release timeline ================ There are approximately three stable releases a year. Every other release is a LTS (Long Term Support). A LTS release is supported for 18 months. A stable release that is not LTS is supported until the next stable release is published. A development / testing release is not supported. * Long Term Support release : 18 months * Stable release : until the next stable release is published * Development / testing release : not supported Supporting a release means: * `Integration and upgrade tests <https://github.com/ceph/ceph-qa-suite>`_ are run on a regular basis and `their results <http://pulpito.ceph.com/>`_ analyzed by Ceph developers. * `Issues <http://tracker.ceph.com/projects/ceph/issues?query_id=27>`_ fixed in the development branch is scheduled to be backported to the release. * When an issue found in the release is `reported <http://tracker.ceph.com/projects/ceph/issues/new>`_ it will be handled by Ceph developers. * The `stable releases and backport team <http://tracker.ceph.com/projects/ceph-releases>`_ publishes ``point releases`` including fixes that have been backported to the release. +----------------+-----------+-----------+-----------+-----------+-----------+-----------+ |
