[Announcements] Information regarding deprecating Foundation support for older Sakai versions

The Sakai open source community develops, tests, and maintains the code for all Sakai releases. For the most current release and the immediate prior release, the Sakai Foundation uses its resources to oversee and manage the development, QA testing, patching, and release of incremental numbered versions. For earlier versions, the Foundation no longer provides this oversight and coordination of the community contribution to the codebase. This does not mean that these earlier versions are not used and maintained by some institutions in the community, they are. Institutions running an older version may of course continue to do so, applying patches, bug fixes, and enhancements as they wish. These modifications are committed to the Sakai SVN code repository and are available for others to use if they wish. But the Foundation does not coordinate testing or validation of the code changes, and does not create a concomitant roll-up into an incremental release. The Foundation and most of the community are focused on maintaining the current versions and development toward future versions since this provides maximum benefit to the community at large and is the best use of our aggregate resources. When possible we recommend upgrading your deployment to currently supported versions. In July 2009, Sakai version 2.6.0 was released. Thus, any subsequent changes to Sakai 2.4.x code are no longer managed by the Foundation and became the sole responsibility of the individual institutions. No new versions of 2.4 will be released. When version Sakai 2.7.0 is released, the same change will happen to the currently supported version 2.5.x.
