From 22b0a302156027291e9e44897d9e49f01ab07908 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: =?UTF-8?q?Rafael=20Mendon=C3=A7a=20Fran=C3=A7a?= Date: Tue, 10 Apr 2018 18:38:33 -0400 Subject: [PATCH] Update our security policy to include all releases in the current series We don't want people to jump from the last release in the previous series (4.2) straing to the first release in the current series that is support (5.1), so we should be supporting the entire series for severe security issues. This will not be a problem because usually we only have 3 releases in a series and backporting patches inside the same series is not harder than backporting to a previous series. --- guides/source/maintenance_policy.md | 4 ++-- 1 file changed, 2 insertions(+), 2 deletions(-) diff --git a/guides/source/maintenance_policy.md b/guides/source/maintenance_policy.md index fd022cd2a7..dfc7df4be0 100644 --- a/guides/source/maintenance_policy.md +++ b/guides/source/maintenance_policy.md @@ -64,11 +64,11 @@ of Rails.
