+preview: Apache Camel 3 reaching end of life by end of 2024
+---
+
+We have just released Apache Camel 3.22 as the last new minor release of Camel 3.x.
+
+This marks the end of new development of Camel 3, and there are no more releases planned.
+
+Camel 3.14 and 3.20 reached end of life by end of 2023.
+And therefore, the only supported releases of Camel 3.x are as follows:
+
+| Version | Supported Until |
+|---------|-----------------|
+| 3.21.x  | Jun 2024        |
+| 3.22.x  | Dec 2024        |
+
+Camel 3.21.x is supported first half of 2024, and Camel 3.22.x until end of 2024.
+
+We will only do patch releases of Camel 3.x, and we plan to not do as many patch releases as usual,
+but only prioritize very important bug fixes and CVEs from Camel itself (not CVEs in 3rd party libraries).
+So expect only a few patch releases.
+
+There will not be any new minor releases of Camel 3.x, and users are encouraged to start new development
+on Camel 4, and plan to [migrate existing applications](/blog/2023/10/migrate4/) to Camel 4.x.
