This document
has an overview of historic Eloquence versions,
their release dates and associated operating platforms.
Support lifecycle policy
Eloquence versions are supported for a minimum period of 5 years
after the initial release and 3 years after a newer version was released.
The two most recent versions are actively
supported; enhancements and patches (proactive and reactive) are
developed for the current version, whereas previous versions typically
only receive critical defect fixes.
Legacy versions are only supported on a best-effort basis, which might
include helping with problem isolation and suggesting possible workarounds,
if available, but might also resort to recommending an update to a supported
version with recent patches. No new patches are released.
Notice that the minimum operating system requirements documented above
might also reference operating system versions that have meanwhile been
discontinued (end of sales) or obsoleted (end of support) by their
respective vendors. Support for Eloquence versions running on obsolete
platforms or outdated hardware is severely limited as we may not be able
to keep the respective (patch) build environments available for extended
periods of time.
