Nothing was changed here from before in regards to anything but schedule. See the recommendations in e.g. the May 2013 security advisory[1], posted a day after 1.509.1 was released, or the November 2012 advisory [2], posted three days after 1.480.1 was released. Cloudbees offers a full year of support, but it appears that only security fixes are backported -- if you're lucky --, no other bug fixes. --- While the LTS release line was always supposed to have a new major release every three months, with minor fixes in between (basically what was now decided!), this schedule just has never worked. While 1.447.1, 1.466.1, and 1.480.1 were only delayed about a month each, 1.509.1 took 165 days, and 1.532.1 even 208 days to be released after their respective predecessor 1.xxx.1 release (additionally, 1.532.1 wasn't announced properly, leading to some confusion) -- instead of ~90 days as planned. 1: https://wiki.jenkins-ci.org/display/SECURITY/Jenkins+Security+Advisory+2013-05-02 2: https://wiki.jenkins-ci.org/display/SECURITY/Jenkins+Security+Advisory+2012-11-20 -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Jenkins Developers" group.
