Question about end of life date for camel library
Hi,
I have been using camel 2.1.0 in my project. I would like to know when is
the end of life support for the library version I am using. I have been
checking from the homepage https://camel.apache.org but not able get any
information.
In addition, I would also like to know the end of life date of every
version so that i can plan when to upgrade my library.
Thanks alot in advance for your help.
Wai Lik

Hi,
We only provide patch release the last 2 major release, which means you can at least have one year community support in Camel.
If we release Camel 2.13.0, we will retire the Camel 2.11.x fix branch.

Hi Claus,
Thanks for your information. That is awesome! Yes, i am currently still
using camel 2.1.0 in the project (never been upgraded since about 5 years
ago). I'm looking into the camel upgrade now, therefore i want assess which
camel version should go for based on the impact and support available.

No each Apache projects has their own policy. Some projects only
support latest code, and others do support and release patch releases
etc. Mind that support is many things. You can always contact any
Apache project using the mailing list to ask for help - also for older
releases etc. Its just that some Apache projects do not fix and
release on older versions. eg its not fun to fix stuff in code that is
many years old etc. But the source code is free, and anyone can grab
the code, and apply their own fixes. For example if a fix has been
merged to a newer release, you can try to apply that same fix on the
source code of old fix to try to fix it yourself etc.
Also all support from Apache is community and volunteer based.
Some Apache projects has commercial support from companies. That are
usually the bigger Apache projects.
PS: Are you really using Apache Camel 2.1.0 - that is very old. Or do
you mean Camel 2.11 ? eg eleven?

Hi
See
http://camel.apache.org/download
When Camel 2.13.0 is released (soon) then Camel 2.11.x is retired and
no longer active supported.
The rule of thumb is that we support 2 patch branches back.
If you are looking for a longer support timeframe, you can try
commercial support
