Releases
Starting with the release of ownCloud 8.0, new releases will be time based. Therefore a new major version of ownCloud will be released approximately every 4 months. As this will result in a significant version number increase, ownCloud has moved to a dot release schedule with version numbers like this x.y.z. In general, the x version number will change once a year, y will change every quarter, and z will change when patch and security releases are necessary.
The feature freeze of each version will be one month before the release dates.
In 2015 these version will be in the 8.-series, 2016 in the 9.-series, ... but keep in mind that every release is a major upgrade.
End of Life
To get a rough estimation of the End of Life of an ownCloud version: Go to the beginning of the next quarter after the release of a version and add 18 months.
Example: ownCloud 8.0 was released in the beginning of February 2015. The next quarter starts in April 2015 and adding 18 months result in October 2016.
Minor releases - Maintenance releases
Each ownCloud version will be maintained for 18 months:
- months 1 to 6: minor updates, bug fixes and security fixes
- months 7 to 12: bug fixes and security fixes
- months 13 to 18: security fixes only
Update: Minor releases (versions that increase the third digit in the number) are now planned in 8 week time slots, with the exception of the first two following a major release (the X.Y.1 and X.Y.2 version). This means that roughly once every two months a minor release is created for each supported version.
