| Unfortunately it's not possible to continue to provide support for older stable branches of Moodle indefinitely due to the amount of work involved. This page describes the process of dropping support for older stable branches.

| ==Dropping support for 1.a.x==
| |
| | |
| # Decide upon the final release of 1.a.x (taking into account that generally three versions are supported at a given time) | |
| # Propose a date in MDLSITE-737 for dropping support for 1.a.x 5 months after the final release
| |
| # Announce the final release of 1.a.x in the moodle.org news
| |
| # Update the Moodle version message in the tracker to read: "There will not be another 1.a.x release, but critical bugs may still be backported to the branch until [''date 5 months in advance'']."
| |
| # After 5 months, release 1.a.x+ and archive all 1.a.x versions
| |
| | |
| ==Dropping support for 1.6.x==

| | |
