-Maintenance Policy for Ruby on Rails
-====================================
-
-Support of the Rails framework is divided into four groups: New features, bug
-fixes, security issues, and severe security issues. They are handled as
-follows, all versions in x.y.z format
-
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
-
-New Features
-------------
-
-New features are only added to the master branch and will not be made available
-in point releases.
-
-Bug Fixes
----------
-
-Only the latest release series will receive bug fixes. When enough bugs are
-fixed and its deemed worthy to release a new gem, this is the branch it happens
-from.
-
-**Currently included series:** 4.1.z, 4.0.z
-
-Security Issues
----------------
-
-The current release series and the next most recent one will receive patches
-and new versions in case of a security issue.
-
-These releases are created by taking the last released version, applying the
-security patches, and releasing. Those patches are then applied to the end of
-the x-y-stable branch. For example, a theoretical 1.2.3 security release would
-be built from 1.2.2, and then added to the end of 1-2-stable. This means that
-security releases are easy to upgrade to if you're running the latest version
-of Rails.
-
-**Currently included series:** 4.1.z, 4.0.z
-
-Severe Security Issues
-----------------------
-
-For severe security issues we will provide new versions as above, and also the
-last major release series will receive patches and new versions. The
-classification of the security issue is judged by the core team.
-
-**Currently included series:** 4.1.z, 4.0.z, 3.2.z
-
-Unsupported Release Series
---------------------------
-
-When a release series is no longer supported, it's your own responsibility to
-deal with bugs and security issues. We may provide backports of the fixes and
-publish them to git, however there will be no new versions released. If you are
-not comfortable maintaining your own versions, you should upgrade to a
-supported version.
