Only the latest major version is supported.

There have been cases where the Renovate maintainers will backport (security) fixes to previous major versions, but these are at the discretion of the maintainers, and are primarily to support Mend customers.

Commercial offerings

The Renovate CLI is also packaged into a few offerings from Mend:
