Hi Josep, Thanks for the speedy response. Since the last updated date on that page was 2020, I wanted to confirm I was looking at the correct page.
Also, when you say last 3 releases - do I have it right below 3.4 - current release ( and upgrade supported from 3.3,3.2,3.1?) And what about Kafka 2.8? Is that supported with bug fixes and security patches? And if we want to upgrade from 2.8, can we upgrade to 3.4 from 2.8?

Basically, the last 3 releases are covered and one can upgrade to the latest version from the last previous 3. Bug fixes are ported to the last 3 versions in a 'best effort basis'.
