LTS

Noun · Open Source

Definitions

  1. Short for long-term support, indicating a release expected to receive fixes and maintenance for an extended period. In open-source culture, LTS versions are often chosen by organizations that value stability more than access to the newest features.

    In plain English: Short for long-term support, meaning a release maintained for a longer time.

    Example: "They stayed on the LTS release because the platform team preferred predictable support windows over chasing every new feature the upstream project announced."
