Hi Radhika,

We aim to release 2.28 LTS during Q4, but if this were to slip into Q1, we would extend support for 2.16 to ensure continuity of an LTS.

It will probably have the same 3 year support period as previous LTS branches, i.e. until end of 2024.

Hi Dave,

Thanks very much for your response.

I have a couple of follow up questions. When will you release 2.28 LTS? How long will have maintain(have security fixes) for the 2.28 LTS branch?

Thanks, Radhika

Hi Radhika,

We do not plan to extend support for Mbed TLS 2.16 beyond the three year support period.

We do plan to release a 2.x LTS (probably 2.28) alongside the final 2.16 release, so that we always have an LTS available.

Regards

Hi,

I am a maintainer for https://nam06.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fgithub.com.... We include mbedtls 2.16 as a submodule in our project.

Reading the article below, it states that 2.16 support will last at least till Dec 2021. Will you continue to support 2.16 in 2022? https://nam06.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Ftls.mbed.o...

We are specifically interested in CVE fixes being backported to 2.16 and the timeframe where that will continue. Is there an updated timeline for this?

We do plan to upgrade to 3.0 in early 2022, but we anticipate that will take some effort due to breaking changes.

Thank you very much!

Radhika
