Support

GLPI is a living software. Improvements are continuously made, new functionalities are being developed, and issues are being fixed.

To ease support and development, we need your help when encountering issues. There is a GLPI version typical lifecycle:

• A new major version (9.3) is released.
• Minor versions (9.3.x), fixing bugs or issues, are published after several weeks. Please consider updating to the latest released minor version if you encounter some bugs or performance issues.
• Several months after major version released, a new major version (9.4) is released. Previous major versions become unsupported, please update to the new major version. Obviously, we provide support for the migration tools too!
