Rails LTS is a commercially supported fork of Ruby on Rails that provides security patches for legacy Rails releases. Today we're announcing some changes in the versions that we plan to support in 2015 and beyond.

Rails 2.3

We will continue to support Rails 2.3 indefinitely.

Rails 3.0

When we announced support for Rails 3.0 earlier this year, we had hoped to create a stable customer base to fund long-term maintenance of Rails 3.0. Unfortunately we haven't been able to gather much interest for Rails LTS 3.0 despite our best efforts, so with a heavy heart we're announcing plans to sunset support for this version.

In order to give 3.0 users sufficient time to upgrade, we're going to support Ruby on Rails 3.0 for another full year until January 1st, 2016. After that date we will no longer be able to provide security patches for Rails 3.0.

Rails 3.2

We plan to support Rails 3.2 when official maintenance ends entirely, sometime in 2015 (Rails 3.2 still receives limited maintenance for severe security issues). We could already win an enterprise customer for this project, which allowed us to start working on 3.2 support.

Rails 3.2 support will be available to all Rails LTS customers on a Startup, Standard or Enterprise plan.
