Nothing formal. To date, once we put out a new release, all prior releases will not get any updates. That will probably especially be true going forward, with much shorter release cycles than we had from 1.2.3 to 2.0, and much fewer changes, hence much less risk of upgrading. We're still fixing most if not all bugs in RELENG_2_0 and master (2.1) so if/when a 2.0.2 becomes necessary it'll have a small number of bug fixes. Once 2.1 is out though, it's unlikely there will be any further 2.0.x releases. Never seen a need for maintaining older releases, especially given the resources it would take to do so. If there were legit reasons (eg. anything other than "I don't want to upgrade") to stay on a particular release behind the most recent, we would reconsider that, but historically that's never been the case. _______________________________________________ List mailing list [email protected] http://lists.pfsense.org/mailman/listinfo/list
