The Release Strategy

Question

MariaDB recently shifted its release model. Which of the following best describes the current distinction between "Short-Term Releases" and "Long-Term Support (LTS)" releases?

Answer 1

Short-term releases are only available to MariaDB Foundation members, whereas LTS releases are the only versions released under the GPL license to the general public.

Answer 2

Short-term releases are optimized specifically for ARM architecture and Cloud-native deployments, while LTS releases are strictly for legacy x86 hardware and on-premise servers.

Answer 3

Short-term releases are maintained for one year to deliver new features quickly, while LTS releases (like 10.11 or 11.4) are maintained for five years to provide stability for production environments.
