Re: Question about end of life date for camel library
Hi See http://camel.apache.org/download When Camel 2.13.0 is released (soon) then Camel 2.11.x is retired and no longer active supported. The rule of thumb is that we support 2 patch branches back. If you are looking for a longer support timeframe, you can try commercial support http://camel.apache.org/commercial-camel-offerings.html On Tue, Mar 18, 2014 at 9:51 AM, Wai Lik Chong wrote: > Hi, > > I have been using camel 2.1.0 in my project.

Some projects only support latest code, and others do support and release patch releases etc. Mind that support is many things. You can always contact any Apache project using the mailing list to ask for help - also for older releases etc. Its just that some Apache projects do not fix and release on older versions. eg its not fun to fix stuff in code that is many years old etc. But the source code is free, and anyone can grab the code, and apply their own fixes. For example if a fix has been merged to a newer release, you can try to apply that same fix on the source code of old fix to try to fix it yourself etc. Also all support from Apache is community and volunteer based. Some Apache projects has commercial support from companies. That are usually the bigger Apache projects. PS: Are you really using Apache Camel 2.1.0 - that is very old.

Re: Question about end of life date for camel library
Hi Claus, Thanks for your information. That is awesome! Yes, i am currently still using camel 2.1.0 in the project (never been upgraded since about 5 years ago). I'm looking into the camel upgrade now, therefore i want assess which camel version should go for based on the impact and support available.

Re: Question about end of life date for camel library
Hi, We only provide patch release the last 2 major release, which means you can at least have one year community support in Camel. If we release Camel 2.13.0, we will retire the Camel 2.11.x fix branch. -- Willem Jiang Red Hat, Inc.
