Why TYPO3?

A Roadmap You Can Trust

TYPO3’s release cadence is consistent, documented, and transparent. With clearly defined lifecycle phases and long-term support options, you always know what’s coming next.

Predictable Release Cycles

Long-Term Support (LTS)

TYPO3 follows a reliable pattern: new LTS versions every 18 months, two active LTS versions at any time, and three years of free support per release. This gives IT teams, agencies, and procurement departments a clear basis for multi-year planning.

  • Clear lifecycle stages
  • Structured upgrade path
  • No disruptive shifts or unexpected version changes
  • Streamlined update coordination between agencies and clients
