> From: Mittal, Paran (Infosys) [mailto:paran.mit...@astrazeneca.com] > Subject: Tomcat 7.0.55 support details
> We could not find details on apache page for supporting cycle of tomcat. Not at all clear what you expect from "support". Tomcat is a free, open-source product, written and maintained by a number of individuals who may or may not have Tomcat development as their primary function. There is no official support in terms of guaranteed problem resolution or quality-of-service agreements, unless you want to pay some third party for such a service. This mailing list is staffed (loosely speaking) solely by volunteers. > Could you please let us know the below details: > 1) End date of support of tomcat version 7.0.55? > 2) Extended support date for tomcat version 7.0.55? Strictly speaking, 7.0.55 is not supported (but the 7.0.x branch is), since any problems found in 7.0.55 will only be fixed in a later 7.0.x release, which currently stands at 7.0.62. It behooves you to keep up with the releases to avoid security risks and other problems that have already been corrected. At some unknown future point, the 7.0.x leg will be updated only for critical fixes, and sometime after that all maintenance of that version will cease. That will likely be a couple of years from now, since 6.0.x end-of-life is expected to be sometime in 2016. - Chuck P.S.
