Deprecations and Removals
What is End Of Life (EOL) for a Product/Version? What's the need to upgrade?
42Gears does not market, sell, deploy, or provide updates to versions of products that have reached end of life (EOL). Although the product works, old versions of software inherently have security vulnerabilities that attackers can exploit. Your best defense is to be on software that can receive updates and is free of known vulnerabilities.
The following listings specify the dates and/or versions by which 42Gears capabilities have already or will, within the next few months, reach their end-of-life (refer to the individual EOL Date).
