Grafana release cycle: end-of-year update

Grafana has experienced a significant year, highlighted by the April release of Grafana 11.0 at GrafanaCon 2024, which introduced a queryless experience and custom visualizations. Subsequent minor releases have enhanced data sources and visualizations, culminating in the 11.3 release with Scenes-powered dashboards. As the year ends, Grafana is implementing release freezes during the holiday season, affecting various products but allowing for essential updates in case of operational or security incidents. A new naming convention for security releases now appends "+security" to versions, clarifying the nature of updates and improving understanding of their urgency. Release information has been integrated into the Grafana documentation under "Upgrade Strategies," ensuring better access to details about Grafana Enterprise and OSS releases. Grafana Cloud remains a user-friendly platform for handling metrics, logs, traces, and dashboards, offering a free tier and scalable plans.
