The FreeBSD support model

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.

The details and rationale behind this model can be found in the official announcement sent in February 2015.

-

Previously, branches were designated as either Normal or - Extended. The designation was used as a guideline for - determining the lifetime of the branch as follows:

- -
-
Normal
-
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. -
-
Extended
-
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. -
