Release timeline

There are approximately four 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

• When an issue found in the release is reported it will be handled by Ceph developers.
• The stable releases and backport team publishes point releases including fixes that have been backported to the release.
