VOLTHA Releases
===============

VOLTHA, up until the 2.8 release had a tight development and release schedule of 3 months.
Starting June 2021 operates on a 6 months release schedule, with a Long Term Support release every 18 months.
Long Term Support means that throughout the lifetime of a release there is a commitment to update,
patch and maintain the software.

VOLTHA process for releases is as follows:

- each LTS release has an 18 months support period with bug fixes and testing.
- LTS releases are 18 months apart.
- VOLTHA has 6 month release cycles.
- Two interim releases between LTS versions.
- Bugfixes will be back ported to LTS (if applicable) from master and interim release.
