Joomla Development Strategy
The development strategy is explained in a long article on http://developer.joomla.org/strategy.html, not always understandble for the international Joomla Community. The actual development status including release and End of Life dates is listed on http://developer.joomla.org/development-status.html
In an attempt to make the new development strategy more understandable for the wider Joomla Community, I have created the Joomla CMS Development Strategy Infographic.

Support Scenario Related to Past, Present and Future Releases
Note: This is an example only. For the current planned schedule please see the Development Status page.
| Date | Current Version | Event Description |
|---|---|---|
| (before) July 2010 | 1.5 | 1.5 GA released with long term support. |
| January 2011 | 1.5 or 1.6 | 1.6 GA released with standard support. |
| July 2011 | 1.5 or 1.7 | 1.7 GA released with standard support |
| August 2011 | 1.5 or 1.7 | 1.6 reaches end of life. |
| January 2012 | 1.8 or 1.5 | 1.8 GA released with long term support. |
| February 2012 | 1.8 or 1.5 | 1.7 reaches end of life. |
| April 2012 | 1.8 only | 1.5 reaches end of life. |
In the above example version 1.5 is available as a long term support release, meaning that users can choose to upgrade it to 1.6 when it is available six months later or with 1.8 (the next LTS release) when it is available eighteen months later. A direct upgrade path will be provided for consecutive standard support releases and for consecutive long term support releases. Any other combination will not be officially supported.
