What is the Redis release strategy?

A new major version is planned for release once a year. Generally, every major release is followed by a minor version after six months. Beginning with Redis Enterprise Software release 6.4, end-of-life (EOL) for a given Major release occurs 18 months after the formal release of the subsequent Major. Maintenance will only be provided on the last minor release of the major1.major2 releases. This update to the EOL policy ensures customers have a lead time of at least 18 months to upgrade to the new release after it is available.
