Re: [Qgis-developer] What's the purpose of an LTR?
Thanks Nyall and Andreas, I missed the point that an LTR can have updated releases, i.e. 2.8 download links can be updated until February 2016, right? giovanni 2015-01-21 9:27 GMT+01:00 Andreas Neumann a.neum...@carto.net: Hi Giovanni, The idea is to invest more in bugfixing and bugfix releases for the LTR release. If a major problem in 2.8 LTR is found and 2.10 is already out, there would still be another bug fix release for 2.8 LTR. LTR is for one year of support in bug fixing. QGIS PSC and QGIS-CH may also decide to invest more money into bug fixing of a LTR release. Andreas On 21.01.2015 09:24, G.

Yes and also that we will back port fixes for a year to that release vs only for the current release. The QEP will have more details. Nathan On Wed, 21 Jan 2015 6:24 pm G.
