It’s been 4 years since deegree 3.4.0 was released and it is time to announce some changes regarding the end of community support for OSGeo deegree 3.4 release line.

While users of deegree 3.4.x will continue to see releases for security and critical issues until the End of Life (EOL) date, all users are advised to upgrade to deegree 3.5 asap.

Next actions:

  • GitHub wiki is updated
  • GitHub Security Policy is updated
  • TMC decides on a date for the official End of Community Support for deegree 3.4.
  • EOL is announced on mailing list and website

The EOL date of 3.4 line will be 3 months after general availibility of 3.5.0 release. (TMC meeting 2022-07-27)

A possible simplification would be to use the releases in a tabular version similar to Ubuntu, like:

deegree Version Java Version Release Date End of regular Releases End of Life
3.5.x 11 yyyy-yy-yy
3.4.x 1.8 xxxx-xx-xx yyyy-yy-yyy zzzz-zz-zz

With the release of version 3.5 we will end providing regular releases for the 3.4 line. Releases from the 3.4-main branch are highly unlikely, and only security related issues might be fixed and a bug fix version provided.

A bugfix version 3.4.35 was released to resolve critical CVEs reported against 3.4.34. Downloads are available from Docker hub and Nexus repo. Users are still advised to upgrade to 3.5.x asap.
