Dear WildFly Maintainers,
Hope you are well.
We are currently using WildFly 26.0.1 Final in a regulated production
environment and need to confirm the platform's lifecycle status for
internal compliance purposes.
I really need your help to kindly clarify the following:
1. Is WildFly 26.0.1 Final considered End Of Life (EOL) i.e. no longer
supported by WildFly team?
We'll certainly answer questions about it, but the WildFly developers have
no plans to do any further releases in the 26.0.x series. I can't imagine
that ever changing.
1. If possible, is there any official documentation or page we
can
refer to that confirms this status?
Unfortunately, no. 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. We believe
support for 26.0.1 Final may have ended around that time but would like to
confirm this with your team.
Per our normal practice, we'd have not produced further bug fix releases
for 26.0.x after the April 14, 2022 release of WildFly 26.1.
Thank you very much in advance for your time and kind assistance.
Warm regards,
Nadia Rosdie
Compliance Officer for Takaful Operator.
