CakePHP follows Semantic Versioning. From 3.x onward, major versions have a codename:

Releases Codename
5.0 - 5.1 Chiffon
4.0 - 4.5 Strawberry
3.0 - 3.10 Red Velvet
1.3 - 2.10

Support and EOL policy for 1.x was not clearly defined. 2.x and 3.x support and EOL policies are documented on https://github.com/cakephp/cakephp/wiki. From 3.x onward, it seems only the last major release will be actively developed, and older major releases will receive bugfixes for 24 months and security fixes for 36 months.

Minor releases also do hold significance for the CakePHP project: the last three minor versions of the last major release cycle have security support.
