Thanks, Denis, for raising this topic. I understand the considerations publishing 4.2 as LTR. But I believe many users would be disappointed by another rescheduling. They have been waiting quite a while for a release with more than 4 months of support, especially since we already rescheduled release 4.0. For most of them, an LTR is nothing else than a release that gets longer support.
Of course, we would need to make it clear that e.g. HTML support is not provided and that moving from 3 to 4 is a big step that carries some risks. I just wanted to point this out. Anyway I'm open to being convinced that a reschedule is really necessary. Thanks anyway and cheers Dave On Thu, Aug 20, 2026 at 11:22 AM Denis Rouzaud via QGIS-PSC < [email protected]> wrote: > Dear PSC, dear Devs, > > On the release schedule, the next LTR still targets 4.2.4 in October. > > Two things to consider from > https://github.com/qgis/QGIS-Enhancement-Proposals/pull/377: > - HTML print layout support is targeted for 4.4 (which is/seems to be a > big blocker, requiring a backport) > - The stability of 4.2 is questioned > > I also feel that we could wait for 4.4 to do a LTR but the timing is > getting critical.
