## Upstream release cadence and support
|
|
|
|
The etcd project maintains release branches for the current version and previous release.
|
|
|
|
For example, when v3.5 is the current version, v3.4 is supported. When v3.6 is released, v3.4 goes out of support.

## NixOS release and etcd version upkeep
|
|
|
|
Every major/minor version bump of `etcd` top-level alias in nixpkgs requires a notification in the next NixOS release notes scheduling the removal of the now unsupported etcd version.
|
|
|
|
After every NixOS release, the unsupported etcd versions should be removed by etcd maintainers.
|
|
|

|
## User guidelines on etcd upgrades
|
|
|
|
Before upgrading a NixOS release, certify to upgrade etcd to the latest version in the current used release.
|
|
|
|
Manual steps might be required for the upgrade.
|
|
|
|
NixOS release notes might have instructions on how to proceed on upgrades.
