Oracle offers two release streams for MySQL: Innovation and LTS releases.
Innovation releases are similar to MySQL 8.0 continuous development model (< 8.0.34) and include bugfixes, security patches, and new features. Support for Innovation releases is limited until the next minor release (Innovation or LTS). Patch releases within Innovation releases are possible but are less likely to happen. Innovation releases are production-grade quality and can be safely used in production environments.
LTS releases have a 5-year premier and 3-year extended support, the same as the previously supported releases. The last version of a major release cycle will be designated as LTS (except for 8.0). Features can be removed (& added) only in the first LTS release (e.g., 8.4.0 LTS) but not later.
8.1 was the first Innovation release, and 8.0.34+ (LTS) only received bug fixes until 8.0 End-Of-Life (EOL) in April 2026. 8.4 is the LTS release of the 8.x series, and 9.7 is the LTS release of the 9.x series.
Release Cadence
- Innovation releases will likely happen quarterly.
- About every 2 years a new Long-Term Support version will be released. An exception is the 8.x LTS release, which will happen well before EOL of 8.0.
Support Levels
Oracle’s Lifetime Support Policy has three options:
Premier Support
5 years of updates, fixes (error correction), and security alerts.
Extended Support
3 years of updates, fixes, security alerts, data fixes, and critical patch updates.
Sustaining Support
Any time, beyond the Premier Support period. Support only. No new releases, no new fixes (no error correction for new issues), no new updates. Only pre-existing updates, fixes, and alerts are available.
Community Edition
MySQL Community Edition is freely available under GPLv2 licensing. Historically, patches have been released at the same time as for the commercial offerings, but no official commitment is made that such a policy will remain.
More information is available on the MySQL website.
You should be running one of the supported release numbers listed above in the rightmost column.
