Both are LTRs since their release. But 2.18 has seen it's last point release - so there won't any more fixes - in that sense it's now unsupported. But it's still downloadable and installable until the current release 3.4, which is also LTR, is replaced by the next release 3.6. We run two package repositories (for Debian/Ubuntu and Windows) because we usually have a current and a LTR release. Currently the latest LTR and the current release are identical. It doesn't make much sense to me to put the same version in two repositories and hence we keep the LTR that is different from the current release in the long term package repositories, while the latest LTR is also the current release. But that doesn't make 3.4 less an LTR. Jürgen -- Jürgen E. Fischer norBIT GmbH Tel. +49-4931-918175-31 Dipl.-Inf.
