The blurb for the What’s new in OJS 3.5? MARCH 2025 webinar in Eventbrite has been updated with:
(Update: 3.5.0.0 will not be an LTS version.)
Does this mean specifically 3.5.0.0, or the whole of the 3.5 series?

Hi @Jim_Nicholls,
Version 3.5.0-0 will be the very first build of the 3.5.0 line of releases. Generally speaking it takes a few builds for us to shake out bugs related to real-world deployment, resulting in 3.5.0-1, 3.5.0-2, et cetera.
Once we’re satisfied that folks needing the stability and predictability of an LTS release will get it from 3.5.0, we’ll add the LTS stamp to a build. I expect it’ll take a few months after the initial release of 3.5.0-0 for us to do that.
From that point, all future 3.5.0 builds will be LTS builds.
Thanks,
