CYGWIN 1.5.3 END OF SUPPORT OR LIFE

[Marvin.C.Scott@gd-ms.com]

Good day -

I represent a logistics team of users of CYGWIN freeware for a government contract. In my role I am responsible for tracking support and end of life for software assets.

In the before mentioned effort mentioned above I have a general question.

Do CYGWIN freeware developers or contributors enact any end or specific date when versions downloaded are available to users?

I pose this question as my users currently employ a version prior the latest 3.4.9-1 September 2023 release. I assume the only negative impacts of using earlier version would be that my team would not have current bug fixes.

Appreciate you time and look forward to your response.


Thanks.
