It is supported for UNIX-like platforms, Android, Windows, DOS platform with DJGPP, OpenVMS, Perl and Valgrind.
LTS releases will be supported for at least five years, and they will specify one at least every four years. Non-LTS releases will be supported for at least two years.
As of release 3.0.0, the OpenSSL versioning scheme is changing to a more contemporary format:
MAJOR.MINOR.PATCH
. With this format, API/ABI compatibility will be guaranteed for the same MAJOR
version number. Previously they guaranteed API/ABI compatibility across the same MAJOR.MINOR
combination.
-
MAJOR
: API/ABI incompatible changes will increase this number -
MINOR
: API/ABI compatible feature releases will change this -
PATCH
: Bug fix releases will increment this number. We also allow backporting of accessor functions in these releases.
In addition to community support, the OpenSSL Software Services provide commercial extended support through the Premium Enterprise Level Support contract. With this contract, LTS releases remain supported beyond the public EOL date for as long as it remains commercially viable for OpenSSL Software Services.
