With the release of 2025.02, LTS releases are now made every two years with a 3-year support. This reflect the table showed at https://lts.buildroot.org/#releases. Signed-off-by: Thomas Perale <[email protected]> --- v1 --> v2: Took the suggestion from https://lore.kernel.org/r/<[email protected]> v2 --> v3: Took the suggestion from https://lore.kernel.org/r/<[email protected]> . All the releases are stable and divided in two categories: LTS & non-LTS. Also updated the lts website page to reflect those changes. --- docs/manual/release-engineering.adoc | 22 ++++++++++++---------- 1 file changed, 12 insertions(+), 10 deletions(-) diff --git a/docs/manual/release-engineering.adoc b/docs/manual/release-engineering.adoc index 0cf38183f9..cbd310d682 100644 --- a/docs/manual/release-engineering.adoc +++ b/docs/manual/release-engineering.adoc @@ -5,19 +5,21 @@ == Release Engineering === Releases -The Buildroot project makes quarterly releases with monthly bugfix -releases.
