Ignite long term support (LTS) version policy?

Dop Sun
Hi,

I’m currently developing an application for my employer, and starting beginning of 2017, Ignite started at 1.8, and released 1.9 (Feb), 2.0 (Apr), 2.1 (Jul) and recently 2.2 (Sep), or about 2 - 3 months a version. And I can see good features added to every releases, together with bug fixes.

For us, we upgraded from 1.8 and then 2.0, and due to several bugs fixed in 2.1 and 2.2, we have upgraded to 2.2. And the bug fixes, for example IGNITE-6181, would likely pushing us to upgrade to 2.3 when its ready before our first production release.

My question is:

- will there be a kind of long term support (LTS) version? By LTS, I mean there is a version will be considered stable, and bug fixes of future several releases would likely back ported for a certain period of time.

- if not today, any chance this can be considered in future?

Thanks,
Regards,
Dop

Hi Dop,

There are no such plans for that at the moment. Probably the community will come to this point at some time. For now, I can suggest you talk to companies that build enterprise solutions on top of Ignite. They provide guarantees you’re looking for.
