Long-term support (LTS) will be assigned to the 3.5 branch. Version 3.5.0-4 is a strong candidate for future LTS designation, though this will be confirmed in due course. You can check the status of task completion on the Public Roadmap.
Once a version is designated as LTS, the community will have a one-year window to upgrade before versions 3.3 and 3.4 reach end of life. At end of life, these versions will no longer receive updates, including security patches.
You may find this note about major upgrades and LTS in this video helpful: “How to upgrade to OJS 3.5” at 00:00:56 - 00:01:58.
Are you still considering if 3.5 is right for you? Check out “What’s New in OJS 3.5” in PKP Docs Hub.
If you wish to download 3.5.0-4 and / or access the list of issues resolved with this build, please check this post.
Please stay tuned for the LTS announcement on the Forum and designation on the download page, and accompanying resources.
Thank you to our amazing community who is working to make LTS happen!
Yours,
PKP Team
