<h2>The FreeBSD support model</h2>
|

|
||||
<p>Effective &os; 11.0-RELEASE, the support model has been
|
||||
changed to allow more rapid development while also providing
|
||||
timely security updates for all supported releases.</p>

<p>Under the new support model, each major version's stable branch

<p>Under the current support model, each major version's stable branch
|

is explicitly supported for 5 years, while each individual point
|
||||
release is only supported for three months after the next point

release.</p>

|

announcement</a> sent in February 2015.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>Previously, branches were designated as either <em>Normal</em> or
|
||||
<em>Extended</em>. The designation was used as a guideline for
|
||||
determining the lifetime of the branch as follows:</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<dl>
|
||||
<dt>Normal</dt>
|
||||
<dd>Releases which are published from a -STABLE branch were
|
||||
supported by the Security Officer for a minimum of 12 months
|
||||
after the release, and for sufficient additional time (if
|
||||
needed) to ensure that there is a newer release for at least
|
||||
3 months before the older Normal release expires.
|
||||
</dd>
|
||||
<dt>Extended</dt>
|
||||
<dd>Selected releases (normally every second release plus the last
|
||||
release from each -STABLE branch) were supported by the Security
|
||||
Officer for a minimum of 24 months after the release, and for
|
||||
sufficient additional time (if needed) to ensure that there is
|
||||
a newer Extended release for at least 3 months before the older
|
||||
Extended release expires.
