Support Lifecycle
In general, Open XDMoD has two major releases each year and each major version will receive support for one year from the time of initial release. This includes security fixes and other critical updates in addition to limited access to our support team.
Note that there was only one major release of Open XDMoD in 2022 due to the team supporting the transition from the XD Metrics Service to ACCESS Metrics. The 10.0 release of Open XDMoD therefore has a longer than typical support time.
Version | Release Date | End of Support |
---|---|---|
10.0 | March 10, 2022 | September 10, 2023 |
10.5 | September 03, 2023 | September 03, 2024* |
* Note: CentOS 7 will officially reach end of life on June 30, 2024, and as such so will our official support for el7 XDMoD.
Supported Operating Systems
Rocky 8 and CentOS 7 are the officially supported operating systems for Open XDMoD. If you are using a different operating system and encounter an issue, please install Open XDMoD on either of these operating systems and reproduce the issue in that environment before requesting support.
