# Version Support

## CheckCle Version Support

This page outlines the support policy for the CheckCle releases. CheckCle follows semantic versioning, with regular bug-fix releases between major versions and defined maintenance windows to ensure stability and reliability for users.

### Support Policy

* **Active Support**: Versions still receiving feature improvements and bug fixes.
* **Maintenance Support**: Versions no longer receiving new features but still receiving critical bug and security fixes.
* **End of Life (EOL)**: Versions no longer maintained.

We strongly encourage upgrades to the latest non-EOL release for best performance, features, and security.
