I'm requesting Matt Hardin to answer this.

Hi there,

Two years ago I sent an announcement mentioning that the OpenLDAP 2.5.x series was accepted for a Micro Release Exception in Ubuntu Jammy (20.04). This meant that I'd be able to release any updates to the 2.5.x series on Jammy, which I have been doing since then.

We are now getting ready to work on the next Ubuntu LTS release, which will come out next April. I seem to remember upstream discussions mentioning that the next OpenLDAP LTS release would likely be the 2.7.x series, but I don't remember seeing anything else about it. Are there any plans to start working on the OpenLDAP LTS major series?

Hi,

Just reiterating my question above, it would be great to have more information regarding plans for the next OpenLDAP LTS release.

Thanks,

Hello Sergio,

It’s not official yet, but the Project is planning to designate OpenLDAP 2.6 as the next LTS release. The announcement could come as soon as a few weeks from now. When that takes place, a date will be set for feature freeze and new development will move to OpenLDAP 2.7. Simultaneously, the Project will set an End of Life date for OpenLDAP 2.5.

Hi Matthew,

Ah, thank you very much for replying. This is good news, and will allow us to plan accordingly.

Thanks,
