Our intent, which we communicate from time to time in various ways, e.g. https://www.wildfly.org/news/2023/05/11/WildFly-Release-Plans/, is to produce four releases a year that contain new features, with each feature release followed roughly a month later by a bug-fix-only micro release. After the next feature release comes out we don't intend to produce further bug-fix releases for the earlier feature releases. This is a pattern we want our community to be able to rely on, and if we shift away from it (as we did between WildFly 26 and 27, where feature releases were more widely spaced), we'll communicate that. Beyond that we'll rarely produce additional bug fix releases for a particular feature release. We did do that for WildFly 26.1. It is very rare for us to produce a bug fix release for an older feature release after a subsequent feature release came out. I believe WildFly 26.1.3 is the only case where we've done this. We need to get this recorded on the wildfly.org site. It was there in a previous iteration of the site, but was inadvertently removed. > FYI, based on our internal records, WildFly 26.0.1 Final was released > in Nov 2021 and WildFly 27.0.0 Final was released in Nov 2022.
