What is the lifecycle of privacyIDEA?

@hex

I want to use versions that are “recommended” by the project. That means:

• public commitment by the project so I can be reasonably sure that I’m not the only one using that version

This is open source and it comes with aboslutely no warranty!

@hex

That means as soon as 3.10.1 is out (with a relevant bug of vuln fixed) I have to do the feature update ASAP.

yes

@hex

But that feature update may deprecate/break things that our setup depends upon.

No. (But wait, this is open source and comes with absolutely no warranty)
So you do not test or plan patch updates?

@hex

If a user would tell you that they run PrivacyIDEA 2.11 (released 2016-03-29) in production you would probably tell them that it would be a good idea to upgrade?

I am not sure, if I should respond here.

Thanks for your input anyways - it will make me think.

Is privacyIDEA an open source or a commercial solution

Hi all, a user asked if privacyIDEA was an open source or a commercial solution. That is a very good question, because is shows one thing, that in my opinion happens often in this forum. Why is the question being it A or B? privacyIDEA is an open source solution. It is definitively an enterprise solution. And sometimes it is a commercial solution. If someone asks if it is open source or comercial, this indicates that you think open source and commercial do actually mutually exclude each other…

Thanks.
