Subject: [ANN] Apache OFBiz 17.12.09 End-OF-LiFE (EOL) announcement
=========== Body ===========
The Apache OFBiz Project Team would like to inform you that OFBiz 17.12.09
has reached its end of life and won’t be longer officially supported.
https://ofbiz.apache.org/release-notes-17.12.09.html
This announcement takes place on 2022-01-xx and starting from today
we will only support Apache OFBiz 18.12.x in case of security
vulnerabilities.
Questions and Answers:
With the announcement of OFBiz 17.12.09 EOL, what happens to
OFBiz 17.12.09 resources?
All resources will stay where they are. The documentation will still
be accessible from the Apache OFBiz homepage*, as well as the
downloads for all released OFBiz 17.12.xx versions. All of the OFBiz
17.12.09 source code can be found in the Apache OFBiz Git repository
under branch release17.12, now and in future. This concerns the
framework and the plugins**.

** https://github.com/apache/ofbiz-framework
** https://github.com/apache/ofbiz-plugins
Is there an immediate need to upgrade from OFBiz 17.12.09 in my projects?
Yes , as today, there are several Log4j vulnerabilities already present in all
OFBiz releases before 17.12.09. So, as today, you should consider migrating
to at least 17.12.09 as soon as possible.
My friends / colleagues and I would like to see OFBiz 17.12.09 being
maintained again. What can we do?
You may fork the existing source and support it on your own.
Kind regards
