Hi Ike, The key distinction is in the "Version lifecycle release policy" link for the ltsrel definition. Another way of phrasing it would be: "* long-term support release branches: For every MediaWiki release that is a Long Term Support release (see [[mw:Version lifecycle]]) there is a corresponding branch in the extension."
If that makes sense to you (and others) I can edit that page for clarity. Greg On Thu, Sep 23, 2021 at 8:55 PM Ike Hecht <[email protected]> wrote: > I'm confused about what the term "ltsrel" means.
