Hi Matthieu,

We are running 2.17.1 LTS in our environment. When this final LTS release appears (either 2.18.0 or 2.17.2), will there be a Piwik 3 LTS version?

Thanks!

@mattab guess we should work on that somewhen soon...

@sgiehl 👍 I suggest we do it once 3.3.1 is out and all issues currently in the milestone are fixed.

Will there eventually be a Matomo 3 LTS branch?

At the moment, we only support the latest version of Matomo 3.
Once we start working on Matomo 4, then Matomo 3 will be frozen and there will be a Matomo 3 LTS version for some time. Learn more about our process in this wiki page: https://github.com/matomo-org/matomo/wiki/New-major-releases

Great! Thanks for the link!

@mattab instead of adding an admin home page I might only show a notification or something. Might be easier. Just to clarify: View user wouldn't see any of those messages right? I'll probably also add a config setting to disable this info.

@tsteur we want to get as many people as possible to upgrade to the latest before matomo 4 Dev will start. And considering the release is out of support, from a view user point of view their data isn't stored safely and securely. So i would show the notification to all users probably, and invite them to contact their admin users to look at the new release. and let them close the reporting notification

@mattab this is done, you'll need to create a release for it.

2.18.0 has been released. This is the last 2.X release and it now has a nice explanation page warning people about the upgrade and explaining why it's important to do so (#13448). Users who are using the "2.x stable release channel" will be prompted to update (local test of the upgrade worked). Kuddos @tsteur for moving this forward!
