EOL Security Support changes for older Pods versions

by

Now that our usage chart is looking much more colorful after the new major releases we’ve put out in the past two years, it’s time to revisit EOL security support on them.

Statistics for the Pods Framework plugin from WordPress.org showing the Active Versions. Listed are "Other", 2.7, 2.8, 2.9, 3.0, 3.1, and 3.2

We have an official security policy in place which explains which versions are supported and which are EOL. Currently any version below Pods 2.7 is no longer supported for security updates.

The most notable change in that policy today is:

A new EOL date has been set for both Pods 2.7 and Pods 2.8 of December 31st, 2024.

This will reduce the overhead for our contributor team supporting those older versions as they can be very time consuming to backport changes to.
