TYPO3 LTS Major Versions

The TYPO3 community is constantly developing TYPO3 CMS. It publishes a new Long Term Support (LTS) version every 18 months based on a reliable and transparent release schedule.

TYPO3 picked up the LTS principle as one of the first Open Source Content Management Systems in 2011 with the release of TYPO3 4.5 and the promise of a fixed support period of three years. Along with it came the “platform-promise”, which states the system requirement would not change during the LTS period.

The most recent TYPO3 LTS version will be released on October 5, 2021—TYPO3 11 LTS.
