I am looking for an online documentation, preferably from Microsoft, about the Typescript support policy (mentioning releases support status, end of support dates, end of life dates...).

So far I have looked at :

• https://www.typescriptlang.org/
• https://github.com/microsoft/TypeScript (especially the SECURITY.md)
• https://github.com/microsoft/TypeScript/wiki
• https://www.google.com/search?q=microsoft typescript maintenance policy

The only thing I found is on https://github.com/microsoft/TypeScript/wiki/TypeScript's-Release-Process#what-gets-done-for-patch-releases:

Patch releases are periodically pushed out for any of the following: ... These fixes are typically weighed against the cost (how hard it would be for the team to retroactively apply/release a change), the risk (how much code is changed, how understandable is the fix), as well as how feasible it would be to wait for the next version.

But I am looking for a more formalized support policy, such as https://spring.io/projects/spring-boot#support. Given Typescript is being developed and maintained by Microsoft, I think such documentation should exist.

Where can I find documentation on Typescript support policy?

CodePudding user response：

There isn't a formalized support policy, according to microsoft/TypeScript#49088. In that issue, @RyanCavanaugh the dev lead for the TS team, said:

To my knowledge, we don't have an official policy beyond the one implied by the fact that we ship our components in Visual Studio. Security fixes are backported I believe for the last year of releases; non-security fixes are not backported.

The Visual Studio support policy is here, for what it's worth.
