Hi For Camel 2.x at this moment then Camel 2.25.x is the only supported release. We only do patch releases, and there are no new minor releases (eg 2.26) planned. Camel 2.x is very likely to be EOL by the end of 2021, and we mainly only at this time put effort into security fixes. The 2.x is not active developed anymore.
For Camel 3 then we only support LTS releases by patch releases, where an LTS release is supported for 1 year. The non-LTS releases are released as-is without any patch release expected. And to clairy then "support" here means that we will accept code changes and backport and do patch releases. As always anyone using any release of Camel can get help and support in the community. For example if you use Camel 3.6.0 and has a problem, then the community can help support you. But if we find a bug in 3.6.0, then as its a non LTS release then its not fixed in that release, but as always in the master branch and on the LTS branches (if possible).
