Asterisk Versions
There are multiple supported feature frozen releases of
Asterisk. Once a release series is made available, it is supported for
some period of time. During this initial support period, releases
include changes to fix bugs that have been reported. At some point, the
release series will be deprecated and only maintained with fixes for
security issues. Finally, the release will reach its End of Life, where
it will no longer receive changes of any kind.
The type of release defines how long it will be supported. A Long Term Support (LTS) release will be fully supported for 4 years, with one additional year of maintenance for security fixes. Standard releases are supported for a shorter period of time, which will be at least one year of full support and an additional year of maintenance for security fixes.
The following table shows the release time lines for all releases of Asterisk, including those that have reached End of Life.
New releases of Asterisk will be made roughly once a year,
alternating between standard and LTS releases. Within a given release
series that is fully supported, bug fix updates are provided roughly
every 4 weeks. For a release series that is receiving only maintenance
for security fixes, updates are made on an as needed basis.
If you're not sure which one to use, choose either the latest release for the most up to date features, or the latest LTS release for a platform that may have less features, but will usually be around longer.
