The Second Year Of ELTS 9.5 Starts Today

Today, on October 1, 2022, ELTS 9.5 starts the second year of its support cycle.

We encourage everyone to update and upgrade to the newest versions of TYPO3. Still, it’s not always immediately possible for every website. Each long-term support (LTS) version of TYPO3 has a guaranteed 3-year community support period. We offer up to three further years of support through our ELTS program. Ensure your TYPO3 9.5 website or application is secure and fully compatible with modern browsers; extend your ELTS plan today.

ELTS: ongoing security, compatibility, and compliance

ELTS keeps you up-to-date and legally compliant. While there is no one-size-fits-all for maintaining your website and keeping it safe, when a release moves into the ELTS phase, TYPO3 guarantees maintenance for an additional three-year period. During ELTS, we backport security patches to ensure your website is secure and updated as issues are discovered and fixed in newer versions. ELTS also includes browser compatibility improvements, like the most recent TYPO3 versions. So you can be sure your website or web application will keep working in modern browsers. Legal frameworks like the European General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) in many jurisdictions make website owners liable for security problems and infractions if their software is not up-to-date.
