> Releases are currently done about twice a year, patches only when its really, really necessary. Although we have released patch versions in the past, the usual policy is to maintain only the last one. > > Since we also got a nice email from INFRA some time ago in that regard, we now also consequently remove any old versions from the ASF download servers, i.e. you can't even download them anymore that way. Only whats out there and available through 3rd party package managers and CDNs like maven, nuget or the like, and of course [right here from GitHub](https://github.com/apache/thrift/releases). You can still keep up the latest version in any release series that you consider "currently active". Accumulo has the latest 1.10.x and 2.1.x right now. Hadoop has the latest 3.3.x, 3.2.x, and 2.10.x. ZooKeeper has 3.5.x, 3.6.x, 3.7.x, and 3.8.x (they might have a few extra that they need to remove, as per that INFRA policy, though). The Thrift PMC could make a similar decision to consider certain versions as "currently active", even if they are only active for critical fixes. -- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
