Synopsis
This is a notice that Cucumber Linux 1.0 will reach its end of full
support in three months on September 30, 2018.
In summary this means that as of October 1, 2018 the Cucumber Linux
Security Team will no longer be able to guarantee the security of
systems running Cucumber Linux 1.0. After this date, Cucumber Linux 1.0
will enter selective support for two months. During selective support we
will continue to publish security patches when possible through November
30, 2018; however, we make no guarantees. After November 30, 2018 we
will provide no further security updates for Cucumber Linux 1.0
whatsoever. More details can be found in the Cucumber Linux Support
Policy <https://cucumberlinux.com/support_policy.php>.
We strongly recommend that all users of Cucumber Linux 1.0 begin
upgrading their systems to Cucumber Linux 1.1. Cucumber Linux 1.1 will
be fully supported through the end of 2019 and selectively supported
into 2020, as the table below shows:
+-------------+-------------------------+-------------------+
| Version | End of Full Support | End of Life |
+-------------+-------------------------+-------------------+
| 1.1 | December 31, 2019 | March 31, 2020 |
+-------------+-------------------------+-------------------+
| 1.0 | September 30, 2018 | November 30, 2018 |
+-------------+-------------------------+-------------------+
Upgrading to Cucumber Linux 1.1
Cucumber Linux 1.1 is a minor release of Cucumber Linux 1.x. Sticking
with the Cucumber Linux support policy, the process of upgrading from
Cucumber Linux 1.0 to 1.1 is designed to be as unintrusive as possible.
It is possible to update a live system and most systems can be updated
in less than 20 minutes without any downtime. A full guide for upgrading
can be found at
https://cucumberlinux.com/upgrade_guide/cucumber_linux_1.1.html.
