End-of-life policy
Magnolia releases
From version 6 onwards, Magnolia classifies major releases (x.y) into Long-Term Support (LTS) and Feature releases.
Long-term support (LTS)
Unless otherwise stated, Long-term support (LTS) releases are maintained for at least two years after their release. When a new major release is made available, the current LTS release goes into maintenance mode.
|
The duration of maintenance mode is determined by Magnolia. For more information, see Magnolia maintenance policy. |
Feature releases
Feature releases are fully maintained until the following LTS or Feature release is available.
When a new LTS or Feature release is available, we will ship one more maintenance release after which the current Feature release can be declared end-of-life:
-
Immediately with the final maintenance release.
-
After an extended end-of-life period, to support migration.
End-of-life
When the supported life of a version ends, we announce end-of-life (EoL) on this page. We do not provide formal support, bug fixes or security fixes for customers using an EoL version of Magnolia. However, we do our best to assist customers who encounter issues with EoL versions of Magnolia. DX Core customers who run an EoL version can use their support contract to verify issues, ask questions about the product, and get help with migration to a newer, supported version of the product.
Enterprise customers with a valid support contract can still use Magnolia support for questions and issues related to EoL versions.
Extended end-of-life
During the extended end-of-life (EEoL) period, which is intended to support migration, we only address critical stability and security issues. The start of this period is determined by Magnolia and announced below on this page.
