Installation: Release Schedule
We release biweekly (every two weeks), promoting a recent nightly build. The majority of releases are supported for 6 weeks.
Long Term Support
Every 24 weeks (roughly twice a year), a release has "long term support" for roughly 48 weeks - until two more LTS releases have been made. If the release due at that time is delayed, support is extended.
Here's a table of recent LTS releases as well as expected future LTS releases:
| Version | *Release Date | *End of Support | MacOS Homebrew Support |
|---|---|---|---|
| 4.153¹ | March 17, 2022 | February 16, 2023 | Supported |
| 4.128¹ | September 21, 2021 | August 24, 2022 | Supported |
| 4.102² | March 23, 2021 | March 17, 2022 | Not Supported |
| 4.80 | October 21, 2020 | September 21, 2021 | Not Supported |
| 4.56 | May 4, 2020 | April 5, 2021 | Not Supported |
| 4.32 | November 19, 2019 | October 21, 2020 | Not Supported |
* Dates in italics signify an expected date.
¹ We are continuing support for MacOS Homebrew on LTS releases (4.128 and 4.153) until they reach EOL, but we are stopping nightly builds of HHVM on MacOS homebrew, will no longer be publishing MacOS homebrew packages for new releases, and will not be testing new versions of HHVM on MacOS going forward.
² HHVM 4.102 was promoted to lts status instead of HHVM 4.104. Its expected support duration has been extended by 2 weeks (to a total of 50) to compensate for the "early start". See the blog post for more information.
