Software development policy

Each F5 API Security Local Edition release reaches End of Software Development (EoSD) on the release date of the next version. EoSD means that no additional features or routine bug fixes will be applied to that version. Critical bug patches and security updates are applied to the two most recent releases of API Security Local Edition.
