Are there plans to release any new updates to Lucee 5. It still shows as and LTS version on the downloads page and there is a Snapshot that is newer than the current release.
I’m just wondering how soon I need to move to 6 and if there is an EOL date for 5, or if it already happened.
Mostly what I’m looking for is an installer with a newer Tomcat and Java version so I don’t have to update those manually. It looks like maybe I could make my own using this repo GitHub - lucee/lucee-installer: Source files for the Lucee installer. But it might be easier just to do the manual updates for now and get our servers updated to 6 as soon as I can.
You can update to Lucee 6.x, which includes all the latest updates and improvements.
Just curious - will there be a LTS version of 6.x before the 5.x LTS expires?
You can grab the 6.1.1.118 installer and simply choose a different lucee.jar to install just be sure you are using java 11, see Jira
Or just install 6.1.1.118 as usual, stop the server and replace the fat jar in the lucee\lib directory and restart
The 6.2 installer won’t work at it uses Tomcat 10.1 and Java 21 which uses the jakarta (Tomcat 9 uses javax) namespace, which only 6.2 onwards supports

As for the next LTS, we haven’t decided yet, 6.2 is the first potential candidate
