| - | ## Support categories |
| - | |
| - | OpenVPN has various levels of upstream support, categorized by release types. |
| - | |
| - | | Release type | Versioned release | git updates | source tarball release | Windows releases | Windows snapshots | Other repositories | Support level | Support life cycle | |
| - | |--------------|-------------------|-------------|------------------------|------------------|-------------------|---------------------|---------------|---------------------| |
| - | | Under development ("bleeding edge") | no | yes | no | no | [yes](https://build.openvpn.net/downloads/snapshots) | no | N/A | N/A | |
| - | | Full stable support | yes | yes | yes | yes | [yes](https://build.openvpn.net/downloads/snapshots) | [yes](https://community.openvpn.net/openvpn/wiki/OpenvpnSoftwareRepos) | Full security and bug fix support | Minimum 6 months after next major release | |
| - | | Old stable support | yes | yes | yes | no | best effort | no | Security and critical bug fix support. Other bug fixes may be delivered as appropriate. | Minimum 12 months | |
| - | | git tree only | no | yes | no | no | no | no | Critical security updates only | Minimum 12 months | |
| - | | Unsupported | no | no | no | no | no | no | No support, upgrade to a newer release ASAP | |
| - | |
| - | The current stable release will always be in the *Full stable support* release type. The previous major release will remain in *Full stable support* for at least 6 months after a new major version is out. After that it is moved to *Old stable support*. |
| - | The *Old stable support* will continue for at least 12 months. After that the release is moved to *git tree only* mode. |
| - | The *git tree only* release type will also get updates for at least 12 months, but each security incident is evaluated independently. After this phase the release will not be supported at all. |
