Gradle follows Semantic Versioning. The support and EOL policy states that each major release causes:
- The previous major version becomes maintenance only (end of active support). It will only receive critical bug fixes and security fixes.
- The major version before the previous one to become end-of-life (EOL), and that release line will not receive any new fixes.
