Product Lifecycle Policy
Stairwell releases new forwarder versions to introduce features and performance improvements. When a version is deprecated:
- Stairwell provides an End of Support (EOS) date at least 6–12 months in advance
- After the EOS date, the version reaches End of Life (EOL) and is no longer maintained
Stairwell recommends staying on a supported version to receive security updates and platform compatibility improvements.
