> [MariaDB](https://mariadb.org/about/) is a community-developed, commercially supported relational
> database management system (RDBMS) originally forked from MySQL.

## Release Cadence

Releases of MariaDB are published regularly. New releases are either long-term releases (LTS) or rolling
releases. The support for each release depends on the release type.

Long-term releases (LTS) are released yearly and supported for 3 years with bug and security fixes (was 5 years up to
11.4).

{: .note-title }

> Upcoming Change
>
> [Starting with MariaDB 12.3](https://mariadb.org/11-8-is-lts/#:~:text=MariaDB%2012%3A%20Slightly%20adjusted%20numbering%20scheme)
> (expected in Q2 2026), the `.3` release for each Major version will be LTS.
> For the MariaDB 12 series, the first three releases, 12.0, 12.1, and 12.2, will be rolling GA releases.
> The fourth and final release - MariaDB 12.3 - will become the following LTS release.

## Support Lifecycle

Rolling releases are released quarterly and are supported until the next release with bug and security fixes. Note that
before 11.3 these were described as short-term releases and were maintained for 1 year.

Commercial support is available from MariaDB with [its _Enterprise_](https://mariadb.com/pricing/) offering. With an
enterprise subscription, support for long-term releases is extended for 2 years, and up to 5 years with the extended
release option. Note that Critical security fixes are also provided as source code releases only and on a best-effort
basis for 2 additional years with the Community support.
