Octopus Server is set to introduce a long-term support (LTS) program to provide more stable and predictable release options for users. The LTS releases will occur on a three-month cadence and include critical bug fixes and security patches for up to six months without new features or minor enhancements, which will be incorporated into subsequent LTS releases. This move divides the release strategy into two lanes: the fast lane, offering the latest features and quick updates, and the slow lane, focusing on stability with long-term support. Octopus Cloud customers will automatically follow the fast lane to receive immediate updates, while self-hosted customers can choose between the two lanes based on their preference for stability or cutting-edge features. The LTS program aims to allow users to make informed decisions about their upgrade paths while maintaining a high-quality and secure product.
