sugarCRM 6.5 still updated?


I'm a little bit confused. I know that sugarCRM no longer supports version 6.5 as of 2016, but there are still security patches being applied in 2017 as per

http://support.sugarcrm.com/Resources/Security/sugarcrm-sa-2017-005/

Does this mean that no new functionalities will be added but security patches and bug fixes will still be applied?

Support vs maintenance

As per Clint's thread: https://community.sugarcrm.com/thread/18434

We are expecting to support and issue maintenance releases to v6.5 through summer 2015 when v6.5 hits it end-of-support period.

So I'm assuming that support for 6.5 ended in 2016, but on this page http://support.sugarcrm.com/Resources/Security/sugarcrm-sa-2017-005/ we see the mention:

The list of affected products reflect all currently maintained versions at the publication date of this advisory.

Which is a bit confusing.

Thank you


Solution

  • As per Sugar support. So it's no longer supported in any way shape or form it seems

    6.5 is no longer supported and no additional patches of any kind (including security) are being developed. End of life for 6.5 was reached in July 2017. Our current supported versions list can be found here: http://support.sugarcrm.com/Resources/Supported_Versions/.
