Support Periods

Not all versions of libraries are supported.

List of eligible libraries and applications:

  • Nitrocid KS

  • Terminaux

  • BassBoom

When a library is released, it typically comes with just one version series, which is typically 1.x or 0.1.x. When the second series starts, such as 2.x or 0.2.x, the support period for all versions in the series will be in the following form:

  • Projects that reached 1.x or later

    • The following support periods, which start with the release date of the last sub-series released (such as Terminaux 5.4.x) before the next major series (6.x.x), are as follows:

      • For projects that evolve rapidly, such as Terminaux, the last sub-series will receive a one-year support window, while all the other sub-series released in the series are EOL.

      • For projects that evolve less rapidly, such as Textify, the last sub-series will receive a two-year support window, while all the other sub-series released in the series are EOL.

      • For projects that evolve slowly, such as SpecProbe, the last sub-series will receive a three-year support window, while all the other sub-series released in the series are EOL.

  • Projects that are in the 0.x.y series

    • The following support periods, which start with the release date of the last sub-series released (such as Terminaux 5.4.x) before the next major series (6.x.x), are as follows:

      • For projects that evolve rapidly, the last sub-series will receive a six-month support window, while all the other sub-series released in the series are EOL.

      • For projects that evolve less rapidly, the last sub-series will receive a one-year support window, while all the other sub-series released in the series are EOL.

      • For projects that evolve slowly, the last sub-series will receive a two-year support window, while all the other sub-series released in the series are EOL.

  • Projects that are in the 0.0.x.y series

    • There is no support for these versions except the latest version, which won't last long. As soon as the library or the application moves to the 0.x.y series or the x.y.z series, none of the 0.0.x.y series will be in support.

When a beta version of a specific version series is announced, the beta versions are supported through the lifetime of the testing period, explicitly (with a set release date announced) or implicitly (no announcement), until the first public release of the version, after which all beta versions under that version circle are assumed to be expired.

For example, Nitrocid KS 0.0.6 had a beta testing period that lasted 6 versions (0.0.5.9 -> 0.0.5.14) until the first public release.

However, applications and libraries may have different support periods, which are listed below:

    • Short term releases: 9 months as of 0.1.1 or later

    • Long term releases: 5 years of non-security fixes, and 5 years of security and critical fixes

Current support periods

Only libraries and applications that don't have their own support policy are shown here.

  • Terminaux

    • 4.3.x series are supported until July 7th, 2025.

    • 5.4.x series are supported until September 26th, 2025.

  • BassBoom

    • 0.1.x.y series is supported until May 31st, 2025.

    • 0.2.x.y series is supported until September 16th, 2025.
