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 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.

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