:::info Official support dates may change

Electron's official support policy is the latest 3 stable releases. Our stable
release and end-of-life dates are determined by Chromium, and may be subject to
change. While we try to keep our planned release and end-of-life dates frequently
updated here, future dates may change if affected by upstream scheduling changes,
and may not always be accurately reflected.

See [Chromium's public release schedule](https://chromiumdash.appspot.com/schedule) for
definitive information about Chromium's scheduled release dates.

:::

**Notes:**

* The `-alpha.1`, `-beta.1`, and `stable` dates are our solid release dates.

## Version support policy

:::info

The Electron team will temporarily support Electron 22 until October 10, 2023.
This extended support is intended to help Electron developers who still need
support for Windows 7/8/8.1, which ended support in Electron 23. The October
support date follows the extended support dates from both Chromium and Microsoft.
On October 11, the Electron team will drop support back to the latest three
stable major versions.

:::

The latest three _stable_ major versions are supported by the Electron team.
For example, if the latest release is 6.1.x, then the 5.0.x as well
as the 4.2.x series are supported. We only support the latest minor release
