From Alpine Linux
Revision as of 09:46, 9 November 2012 by Dubiousjim (talk | contribs) (added 2.5, and changed 2.4 updates to security-only)

There are several releases of Alpine Linux available at the same time. There is not fix release cycle but rather every 6 month we make a snapshot of edge and make a release. We support each stable release for a certain time, normally for 2 years. We can do security fixes beyond that on request and when patches are available.

The latest release of Alpine Linux is: 2.5 Release notes, git log
