https://blog.snort.org/2019/09/snort-versions-eol-and-open-source.html Snort versions EOL and open-source Snort release schedule updates It's time again for us to wind down certain versions of SNORTⓇ. We currently support 36 different Open Source Operating System<https://snort.org/documents/snort-supported-oses> builds for the Snort Subscriber Rule Set. Each additional version of the OS and additional version of Snort that we have to support exponentially increases the amount of build — and, subsequently, QA — time required to create a version of the ruleset. To adjust this workload, we will be deprecating the following versions of Snort: * 2.9.9.0 * 2.9.11.1 * 2.9.12.0 Using our regular 90-day notice policy, this means that those versions will deprecate on Dec. 18 later this year. This will leave versions: * 2.9.8.3 * 2.9.13.0 * 2.9.14.1 * And the upcoming release of 2.9.15.0 If you are on 2.9.9.0, 2.9.11.1, or 2.9.12.0, we recommend you upgrade to 2.9.14.1 immediately. We will be updating our EOL page on Snort.org<http://Snort.org> soon to reflect this change as soon as we get a chance to push that live. But, there is good news. We are going to move to a more regular release schedule of about once a quarter. We will iron out the dates and details soon, at which time we'll let you know on the blog with an accompanying page on Snort.org<http://Snort.org>. This will allow for more regular releases and easier depreciation of older releases. If there are any concerns, please bring them to the Snort-Users mailing list<https://lists.snort.org/mailman/listinfo/snort-users>.
