How we schedule our releases
The actual release date will be on the closest working day (in the UK), also avoiding Fridays, and depend on the successful testing of release candidates, which are made available at least three weeks ahead of the planned final release date.
Additionally, patch releases will be issued as needed, to fix bugs and security issues. These are marked by incrementing the third part of the version number (for example, 2.6 to 2.6.1). Wherever possible, these releases will remain fully backwards compatible with the corresponding feature and not introduce any breaking changes.
Long-Term Support (LTS) releases
A feature release will usually stop receiving patch release updates when the next feature release comes out. However, selected feature releases are designated as Long Term Support (LTS) releases, and will continue to receive maintenance updates to address any security and data-loss related issues that arise. Typically, a Long Term Support release will happen once every four feature releases and receive updates for five feature releases, giving a support period of fifteen months with a three month overlap.
Also, Long Term Support releases will ensure compatibility with at least one Django Long Term Support release.
