Supported Versions

As a general principle, from Version 10 onwards, we plan to support each two major versions at a time, which roughly translates to 2.5-3 years of support lifecycle. The reason for this is that companies that have significant customization on top of ERPNext should be not be forced to move to new releases immediately.

Here is the support plan for major versions that are being supported now:

Version	EOL	Branch
Version 12	End of 2022	version-12
Version 13	End of 2023	version-13
Version 14	Until the release of Version 16 (planned)	version-14
Version 15	End of 2026 (planned)	version-15
Bleeding edge	N/A	develop

For contributors, this means that separate pull requests for bug fixes and security fixes must be sent for each of the supported versions. Fixes to version-13 will not automatically be merged into version-14, and so on. Please send a fix to the highest affected version (or develop) first. After it has been merged, create backports to the previous major releases.
