Thanks for the mail. Is it possible to reconsider for addressing the CVEs fix alone for the older releases. It would be great for us to keep it up to date at least for CVEs fix, not official build, SNAPSHOT would also be greatly appreciated. Kindly revert back.
Regards,

Hi,Obviously, NO.See also the bold text here:I've occasionally done updates because of testing PDFBox 2.0.X. If you want to release old versions, fork the project.TilmanAm 22.01.2026 um 05:19 schrieb Saravanan Balakrishnan:Hi Tika Team,Is there a plan to keep it alive and keep it updated with the vulnerability fix or critical fixes to keep this branch up to date.Is there any possibility to have a monthly or periodically build the 2.9.5 build or on demand build and its retention time frame.Are changes still being submitted to that stream/version/build.We understand that it's already in the end of life, there is an issue to keep the older versions to support our customer. Kindly provide your plan on the 2.9.5 stream to keep it alive for critical fixes.Thanks in advance.Regards,Saravanan B
