- Long-term support (LTS) is a product lifecycle management policy in which a stable release of computer software is maintained for a longer period of time than the standard edition. The term is typically reserved for open-source software, where it describes a software edition that is supported for months or years longer than the software's standard edition.
Short term support (STS) is a term that distinguishes the support policy for the software's standard edition. STS software has a comparatively short life cycle, and may be afforded new features that are omitted from the LTS edition to avoid potentially compromising the stability or compatibility of the LTS release.

- An LTS-based (Long-Term Support) release approach refers to a software release strategy where specific versions of a product are designated as LTS versions, which receive extended maintenance and support compared to regular releases. LTS versions are typically chosen for their stability and receive updates for critical bug fixes, security patches, and backward-compatible improvements over a longer period, while major feature updates are reserved for regular releases.
