Release cycles and support

Each release is actively supported with security patches for 1 year after its initial release, which means that support for the 5.8.x series expires on Q1 of 2023. If you are on one the versions that have reached EoL you are strongly advised to move to the 6.0.x series which will guarantee a smoother transition to the Helper Library.

For more information on the migration to the Helper Library you can refer to the guide.
