Hi Ken The website page is an indication for our users in terms of activity of each version. It’s mostly a way to encourage our users to upgrade to the latest version.
However, under exceptional circumstances, new releases on inactive branches are always possible. To be honest, I was not in favor of doing 5.x releases. But as we received requests from users (still using 5.x and jdk8), in order to make our community happy, it’s ok for me.
