### Latest Stable Releases

The latest stable releases are (were) versions that are recommended for production use, which have been extensively validated via simulation and real cluster tests and used in our production environment.
-`Supported` branches are those we actively maintain and will publish new patch releases.
36
+
-`Bug fixes` are branches we still accept bug fixes into the branch, but may not publish newer patch releases. The community can build the latest release binaries if needed and is encouraged to upgrade to the `Supported` branches.
37

-`Experimental` branches are those used for internal feature testing. They are not recommended for production use.
38
+
-`Unsupported` branches are those which will no longer receive any updates.

If you are running on old production releases, we recommend always upgrading to the next major release's latest version, and then continue to the next major version, e.g., 6.2.X -> 6.3.25 -> 7.1.57 -> 7.3.63. These upgrade paths have been well tested in production (skipping a major release, not marked as `Experimental`, for an upgrade is only tested in simulation).
