## Supported Versions
|
|
|
|
|
|
-The latest three release branches are supported by the Electron team.
|
|
|
-For example, if the latest release is 2.0.x, then the 2-0-x series
|
|
|
-is supported, as are the two previous release series 1-7-x and 1-8-x.

+The latest three major versions are supported by the Electron team.
|
|
|
+For example, if the latest release is 5.0.x, then the 4.x.y series
|
|
|
+is supported, as are the two previous release series 3.x.y and 2.x.y.
|
|
|

|
|
|
+The latest stable release unilaterally receives all fixes from `master`,
|
|
|
+and the version prior to that receives the vast majority of those fixes
|
|
|
+as time and bandwidth warrants. The oldest supported release line will receive
|
|
|
+only security fixes directly.
|
|
|

|
|
|
+fixes previously merged to `master`, though this may be on a case-by-case
|
|
|
+basis for some older supported lines. All contested decisions around release
|
|
|
+line backports will be resolved by the [Releases Working Group](https://github.com/electron/governance/tree/master/wg-releases) as an agenda item at their weekly meeting the week the backport PR is raised.
