hapi core module LTS support policy

The hapi code module is published under the following support rules:

TL;DR

Every major version of the core module receives at least one year of support from the time of publication of the first x.0.0 release. When a new major version is published, the previous major version gets at least 3 months of support from that moment. There are typically one to three major releases each year and most are simple to upgrade.

Current versions

  • v18.x.x - under active support. Maintenance support until at least January 18th, 2020.
  • v17.x.x - under maintenance support until August 1st, 2019.
  • v16.x.x - under maintenance support until March 31st, 2019.

Extended paid support options is available for v16, v17, and v18 by contacting sales@sideway.com.

Latest version

The latest version of the hapi module published to npm is the currently supported version. It receives bug fixes, security patches, and new features on an ongoing basis.

Only the latest published module of the current major version is supported. For example, if the current published version is v10.2.3, it is the only supported version of the v10.x.x branch. If you are using an older version of v10.x.x such as v10.0.4, you must upgrade to v10.2.3 before opening issues and seeking support.

Previous major version

Once a new major version is published, the previous major version goes into maintenance mode. Versions in maintenance mode receive critical bug fixes and security patches but do not receive new features.

Each major version branch stays in maintenance mode for whichever is the longer period:

  • 1 year from the day of the first publication of this major version, or
  • 3 months from the day of the first publication of the following major version.

For example, if:

  • version v9.0.0 was published on January 1st, 2010, and
  • version v10.0.0 was published on May 1st, 2010

Support for v9.x.x will end on January 1st, 2011 (one year from time of initial publication of the v9.0.0 release).

However, if:

  • version v9.0.0 was published on January 1st, 2010, and
  • version v10.0.0 was published on December 1st, 2010

Support for v9.x.x will end on March 1st, 2011 (three months from time of initial publication of the v10.0.0 release).

Deprecated versions

When a version is no longer supported, it will be marked as deprecated in the npm registry. You may continue using it at your own risk, ignoring the warning messages.

Starting with v16, you may obtain extended paid support by contacting sales@sideway.com.
