Title: Product Support Lifecycle and Supported Operating Systems | ||
Description: Information about which versions of Chocolatey products are supported, and the operating systems they're supported on. | ||
--- | ||
|
||
## Product Support Lifecycle | ||
|
||
All of the latest released stable versions of Chocolatey products are fully supported and will periodically receive new features, bug fixes, and security fixes as appropriate. | ||
We recommend customers update to the latest versions to benefit from new features and fixes as they are released. | ||
|
||
### Pre-v1.0 Products | ||
|
||
For any products that have not yet reached v1.0, **only the latest version is supported**. | ||
We will continue to add features, fix bugs, and address security concerns as normal while we work towards a v1.0 release. | ||
|
||
### Version 1.0+ Products | ||
|
||
Once a product reaches v1.0, we recommend customers move to that version as soon as possible. | ||
We will not continue to support v0.x versions once a product reaches v1.0. | ||
|
||
### Version 2.0+ Products | ||
|
||
Once a product reaches the second major release, the following will apply: | ||
|
||
1. We will support the previous major version with **security fixes** for licensed customers. | ||
- For example: at v2.0, v1.x versions of the product will receive security fixes; at v3.0, only v2.0x versions of the product will continue to receive security fixes. | ||
1. We will support the previous major version for bug fixes for licensed customers for 6 months following the release of the next major version. | ||
1. No new features will be backported to the previous major version. | ||
|
||
## Supported Windows Versions | ||
|
||
Chocolatey products' support for Windows operating systems follows Microsoft's support lifecycle: if the Windows version is supported by Microsoft, Chocolatey products are supported on that version of Windows. | ||
|
||
This information is up to date as of April 2023. | ||
