Expected Product Lifetime for Redmine 1.x ?

Added by Anonymous about 12 years ago

Dear Redmine-Developers,

since Redmine 2.1 only works on Ubuntu 12.10 and up with distro-supplied gems*, I am considering installing Redmine 1.4 instead. But I can't find any information for how long the 1.x branch is planned to be supported with security updates. Where can I find this information? Has a support lifetime been announced at all?

All I found so far is this news announcement from the Redmine 1.4.2 release about 6 months ago:

Redmine 1.4.x releases stick to Rails 2.3 and will be maintained during the next months for those who won't switch to the forthcoming Redmine 2.0.0 and Rails 3.

*I want to run Redmine on Ubuntu 12.04 LTS and don't want to install gems manually due to of the lack of automated updates

Many thanks in advance!

Daniel
