AMQ Clients - Detailed Product Life Cycle Policy

Updated -

AMQ Clients will now use a quarterly schema that provides support for 1 year and 6 months from the time of the release or until the next minor with a 3 month upgrade window. Maintenance for these releases will offer bug fixes as well as critical and important CVEs. Patched versions of these distributions will be found on the Customer Portal Download page under the Patches or Security Advisories tabs as applicable. Enhancements as well as moderate and low CVEs will be considered for future releases that will form the next quarterly bundle. This change will provide a more tailored product life cycle that complements the development and release schedule of each client. Note, this change does not indicate a release will occur every quarter, but rather when a release occurs, it will be identified using a quarterly schema.

The following details identify the specific client versions released as a quarterly bundle and the timeline of support. As patches or security fixes are made available this information will be updated.
