BoxLang is maintained under the guidelines as much as possible. Releases will be numbered in the following format:
And constructed with the following guidelines:
Breaking backward compatibility bumps the major (and resets the minor and patch)
New additions without breaking backward compatibility bump the minor (and resets the patch)
Bug fixes and misc changes bump the patch
Our release cadence follows a predictable yearly major-version schedule, with each release enjoying two years of Long-Term Support (LTS):
Active Support: First 12 months after release – full feature updates, bug fixes & security patches.
LTS (Updates & Security): 2nd year – maintenance releases (minor improvements & security).
LTS (Security-Only): 3rd year – critical security fixes only, then archived.
This gives you a clear planning horizon and overlap between versions, so you can upgrade on your own schedule without ever being left unprotected.
Here is our 5-year outlook.

After the “security-only” phase, the version is archived: no further updates, but archives remain available for reference.
Overlaps ensure there’s always at least one actively maintained release.
All dates refer to calendar years; exact dates will align with our annual major-version launch each Q1.
