Tomitribe Product Update and Support Policy

Frozen Versions
Tomitribe will support fixed or frozen versions of Tomcat, TomEE and ActiveMQ. Frozen versions are specific releases inside a branch, for example, Tomcat 7.0.41 which has been outdated by 7.0.90 in the 7.0.x branch. These versions will be actively security scanned and security patches will be delivered proactively as a point release for that specific version, such Tomcat 7.0.41-TT.1, Tomcat 7.0.41-TT.2,Tomcat 7.0.41-TT.3, Tomcat 7.0.41-TT.x.
Support for a frozen version requires a Maintenance Support contract and can be purchased any time regardless of the lifecycle table above. All such frozen versions supported by Tomitribe convert to Extended Support when the corresponding branch enters its Extended Support phase.
