Does the Go compiler have LTS releases? Like if I'm on 1.0, but 1.5 is out, are they going to release a 1.0.1 for a vuln that impacts 1.0+ ?
It seems unlikely but I'd be curious to know.
Libraries release patches more frequently, and it's also generally easier to apply a patch yourself if you need to.
Otherwise a point release may still imply a major release.
- cube2222 5y agoThe most recent 2 major releases get the fix in case of security issues[0]. This means you can be up to 6 months behind the newest release to never be forced to do a major version update under time pressure.

- staticassertion 5y agoThanks that's pretty solid.
