We support both 2.15.X (until at least Sept 2016) and 3.X\".\r\n\r\n### Long Term Support description\r\n\r\n * the last 2.X release will likely be 2.15.0 due in Sept 2015 \r\n * we will then backport security fixes and any critical/major data bugs, from Piwik 3 into 2.X \r\n * we will release as many 2.15.X as needed \r\n * to get the latest and greatest Piwik, one will have to upgrade to Piwik 3.0. To get the most stable release (eg. [Piwik Enterprise](http://piwik.pro/enterprise)), one can use the LTS version (2.15.X) \r\n\r\n\r\nYour feedback, ideas, suggestions are most welcome!"},"comment":{"url":"https://api.github.com/repos/piwik/piwik/issues/comments/141619979","html_url":"https://github.com/piwik/piwik/issues/8546#issuecomment-141619979","issue_url":"https://api.github.com/repos/piwik/piwik/issues/8546","id":141619979,"user":{"login":"mattab","id":466765,"avatar_url":"https://avatars.githubusercontent.com/u/466765?v=3","gravatar_id":"","url":"https://api.github.com/users/mattab","html_url":"https://github.com/mattab","followers_url":"https://api.github.com/users/mattab/followers","following_url":"https://api.github.com/users/mattab/following{/other_user}","gists_url":"https://api.github.com/users/mattab/gists{/gist_id}","starred_url":"https://api.github.com/users/mattab/starred{/owner}{/repo}","subscriptions_url":"https://api.github.com/users/mattab/subscriptions","organizations_url":"https://api.github.com/users/mattab/orgs","repos_url":"https://api.github.com/users/mattab/repos","events_url":"https://api.github.com/users/mattab/events{/privacy}","received_events_url":"https://api.github.com/users/mattab/received_events","type":"User","site_admin":false},"created_at":"2015-09-19T04:48:27Z","updated_at":"2015-09-19T04:48:27Z","body":"> There's also critical bugs and security issues which might never occur in Piwik 3.0 and therefore cannot be backported (but still should be fixed). \r\n\r\n@thomaszbz good point, added this item to issue description: `we will also fix any security issue or critical bug that only affect   2.X`"}}
