Patch Notes

777.1 LTS

LTS Patches

We only release patches for Long Time Support (LTS) versions, except for some particular cases where we do so for Regular Rolling Release (RRR) versions. Security patches are developed as soon as possible after the vulnerability is detected.

Patches for LTS versions usually include critical-bug troubleshooting and solutions to security problems.
