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.

|
+All supported release lines will accept external pull requests to backport
|
|
|
+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.
