Version Support
The ESLint team provides ongoing support for the current version and six months of limited support for the previous version.
Major ESLint release lines move through a status of Current, to Maintenance, to End of Life (EOL). A release line is considered Current when prerelease work begins. At that point, the previous release line moves to Maintenance status and stays there until six months after the general availability of the Current release line. After that, the release line moves to EOL.
Release Statuses
ESLint major release lines are designated by the level of support they receive from the ESLint team. The release statuses are:
- Current - Receives active maintenance and development from the ESLint team.
- Maintenance - Receives critical bug fixes, including security issues, and compatibility fixes to ensure interoperability between major release lines. There is no backporting of other fixes or features from the current release line.
- End of Life (EOL) - When a release line falls out of maintenance mode it receives no further updates from the ESLint team.
