What Is an LTS Release? What Benefits Does It Have?

LTS stands for Long-Term Support and was introduced as a release type with Confluence 6.6.

Each Confluence version has a lifetime of two years. After two years, the version reaches its so-called End of Life (EOL). From this point on, support for said Confluence version will be discontinued. If you ever reach this point, you really consider updating your system. (When a Confluence version is going to reach its end of life can be read online, by the way.)

For some companies, especially large organizations with complex (infra) structures, updating to every new version is not an option. Sometimes, such undertakings can take weeks or months. Everything has to be planned in detail in advance and then put through its paces once the update has been completed. Updates for critical systems are therefore often severely limited.

To ensure that companies like this don't have to sacrifice important security updates and bug fixes, Atlassian has introduced Long Term Support releases. Every year, Atlassian developers deliver at least one major release with long-term support - this year it's Confluence 7.19.

The lifetime of a release doesn't change with LTS: Atlassian will continue to provide official support for two years. However, important security updates, bug fixes and performance improvements that were only added to Confluence with more recent updates will also be made available for the older LTS release. This allows organizations with less frequent update cycles to ensure that their most important system is always running smoothly.
