At any one time the current major version of Ghost is under active development, whilst the previous version is maintained as the Long Term Support version (LTS).

The current version of Ghost receives new features and improvements on a regular basis. The LTS version of Ghost will only receive critical security and stability fixes.

Once a version reaches End of Life it should be considered insecure.

The update guide describes the steps for updating from Ghost 1.0 or higher, to the latest version of Ghost.

If you’re running an 0.x version of Ghost, you’ll need to follow the update guide first to update to 1.0, as there is no direct update path from versions < 1.0 to the latest version.
