Installation instructions for HAProxy
22
=====================================
33

4-
HAProxy 3.2 is a long-term supported version, which means that it will get
5-
fixes for bugs as they are discovered till around Q2 2030 and will not receive
6-
new features. This version is suitable for general deployment as it is expected
7-
to receive less frequent updates than regular stable branches which have an odd
8-
digit in the minor version number. New users are encouraged to use long-term
9-
supported versions such as the ones provided by their software vendor, Linux
10-
distribution, or by a trusted package maintainer. Experienced users who manage
11-
a fleet of load balancers are encouraged to deploy at least one node with the
12-
latest weekly development version to get familiar with upcoming changes and
13-
possibly detect unwelcome changes or bugs before the release. This is also a
14-
great way to get new features implemented exactly as desired.

This is a development version, so it is expected to break from time to time,
5+
to add and remove features without prior notification and it should not be used
6+
in production, unless you're an experienced user and are willing to follow
7+
weekly updates. If you are not used to build from sources or if you are not
8+
used to follow updates then it is recommended that instead you use the packages
9+
provided by your software vendor or Linux distribution. Most of them are taking
10+
this task seriously and are doing a good job at backporting important fixes.
