What is the difference between the various development statuses?

Ubuntu Builder series are marked in four ways:

- Active development
- Current stable release
- Supported
- Obsolete

The series in "Active development" status are in development and are not yet ready to be released.

The series in "Current stable release" status have already been released. You can install them without problems and they are the latest versions of the program. If you find bugs in these versions, we will work to fix them.

The series in "Supported" status were released before the current stable version. You can use them but if you find bugs that are no longer in the current stable version, they will not be fixed.

The series in "Obsolete" status were released many weeks before the current stable version. They are no longer valid for support and we strongly discouraged you to use them.
