Long-term support¶
Charmcraft doesn’t have long-term support (LTS) releases. However, we typically deliver a compatibility release shortly after Ubuntu LTS releases to ensure continuity. Charmcraft software bases are derived from Ubuntu LTS releases, and their development keeps pace with the OS’s new releases and support lifecycle.
