Is there an Elixir LTS version?

Hello,

I understand we upgrade the version basically every 6 months. But for a lot of systems this is too fast. Is there an Elixir LTS version? I cannot find much about it.

Thanks.

None that I’m aware of. You can just freze your Erlang and Elixir versions however, nobody is forcing the upgrade on you.

What difficulties are you facing when upgrading Elixir?

Security patches are available for the last 5 minor branches:

So you get ~30 month or ~2.5 years of security patches. Nobody forces you to update to the latest patch release every ~6 month.

Right so in practice, every version is an LTS version.
