How are openEuler community versions named?

Community versions are named based on the release year and month. For example, openEuler 20.09 was released in September 2020, openEuler 22.03 was released in March 2022.

What are the types of openEuler community versions?

openEuler community versions are classified into Long Term Support (LTS) versions and innovation versions. LTS versions provide long-term stability for production; innovation versions deliver latest features for developers.

How long is the lifecycle of an openEuler LTS version?

LTS version lifecycle is 4 years total: 2 years maintenance support and 2 years extended support. A joint maintenance team can be set up before lifecycle ends to apply for extension to 6 years. LTS versions are released every two years in March of even-numbered years.

How long is the lifecycle of an openEuler innovation version?

Innovation versions are released every six months and provide 6 months community support. Release schedule: September of even-numbered years, March and September of odd-numbered years.

What is the lifecycle of an LTS version Service Pack (SP)?

LTS SP lifecycle: minor SP (June release, optional) - 9 months; major SP (December release) - 24 months. Major SPs recommended for large-scale deployment. SP0 follows major SP lifecycle. SP3 is the last SP, ending with the LTS version lifecycle.

What is the difference between Maintenance Support and Extended Support?

Maintenance Support includes CVE fixes, bug fixes, new hardware support, and minor new features (maintaining LTS forward compatibility). Extended Support only fixes 'major' and above CVEs and bugs.
