NXLog Platform support policy
NXLog maintains a regular release cycle.
Products use the X.Y.Z versioning scheme, where:
-
Xdenotes the major release version. -
Ydenotes the minor version. Minor releases provide enhancements and features that are always backward-compatible within that major version. -
Zdenotes the revision number when we release a hotfix.
We provide long-term support for each major release for up to 1 year following the next version release. Major releases may contain breaking changes. We test upgrades from the previous version, and upgrading between major versions may require manual steps.
For an optimal experience and access to the latest features, we encourage you to upgrade your installations to the newest version.
