Versioning and Support Lifecycle
GridGain releases new versions on a regular basis following a Major.Minor.Maintenance naming convention.
-
Major Releases - represent major product changes, some of which are not backward-compatible (the jump from 7.6 to 8.7 for example). Rolling Upgrades for Enterprise and Ultimate Editions are not supported for major versions changes and assume a special upgrade procedure for production clusters. There is no particular release schedule for major versions.
-
Minor Releases - introduce new features and significant improvements. Thus, these releases are also called Feature Releases. For instance, 8.4, 8.5, and 8.7 are examples of minor versions of series 8. Rolling Upgrades are supported for all minor releases unless there are any breaking changes. If Rolling Upgrades are not supported between two specific versions then GridGain provides a migration path that eliminates downtime via a transitioning version. Usually, feature versions are released every 3 to 6 months.
-
Maintenance Releases - are used to deliver bug fixes, security patches, and performance optimizations. For instance, 8.7.3, 8.7.4, and 8.7.5 are examples of maintenance versions of series 8.7. Rolling Upgrades are supported similarly to minor releases as described above. Upgrades between maintenance versions of different minor series (for example, from 8.5.6 to 8.7.5) are supported as well unless there are any breaking changes. Usually, public maintenance versions are released once a month.
Support Lifecycle
| Description | Guarantees |
|---|---|
Full Support |
Full support for GridGain versions lasts for 2 years. |
End of Life (EOS) |
Version is no longer supported. Workloads running on these versions receive no bug fixes, patches, or maintenance releases. GridGain can continue answering questions related to EOS versions but the scope of support is limited and might come at a premium cost. Customers are recommended to migrate off of EOS versions. The end-of-life date is announced and published on this page at release time. |
