compatibility on major version changes (e.g. from 3.x to 4.0). We also maintain
ABI compatibility within LTS branches; see the next section for details.
Every major version will become an LTS branch when the next major version is
released. We may occasionally create LTS branches from other releases at our
discretion.
When a new LTS branch is created, it usually remains supported for three years.
We will make regular LTS releases on an 18-month cycle, each of which will have
a 3 year support lifetime. On this basis, 3.6 LTS (released March 2024) will be
supported until March 2027. The next LTS release will be a 4.x release, which is
planned for September 2025.
