Product lifecycle policy
Centreon has been publishing new releases of the Centreon solution at regular intervals since version 18.10, enabling the community, businesses and developers to plan their roadmaps with the guarantee of upstream visibility on the latest open source capabilities.
Version numbers
Releases of Centreon are named according to the year and period of delivery. For example, Centreon 22.10 was released in October 2022. All modules and components of the Centreon software suite use the same version numbers.
Release frequency
Starting with Centreon 24.10, Centreon will release one major version per year.
Minor versions, with bug fixes and minor improvements will be released on a monthly basis. A Service Pack version, cumulating all minor versions changes, will typically be delivered after six months.
Maintenance and security updates
- All Open Source major versions are supported for 18 months.
- Commercial major versions released in 2024, 2026 and any even years are LTS versions (supported for 3 years).
- Commercial major versions released in 2025, 2027 and any odd years are supported for 18 months.
Lifecycle
The lifecycle of a version is divided into three phases:
- First phase: Bugs of all severity levels (minor, major, critical, blocker) and security issues are fixed according to their priority. Functional enhancements are added.
- Second phase: Major, critical bugs and blockers, and security issues are fixed according to their priority.
- Third phase: Blockers and security issues are fixed according to their priority. A vulnerability whose remediation deadline falls after the version's end of support is not fixed on that version: upgrade to a supported version to get the fix.
Vulnerabilities follow a CVSS v3 remediation plan. Bugs are prioritized by Centreon's product team.
The first phase of the lifecycle begins on the day of a version release.
The second phase of a version begins when the next major version is available. For example, the release of Centreon 25.10 triggers the second phase of Centreon 24.10.
The third phase of a version begins when the second next major version is available. For example, the release of Centreon 26.10 triggers the third phase of Centreon 24.10 and of Centreon 25.10.
