LTS Policy

Vuetify follows a structured Long-term Support policy:

• 6 months of support for major releases
• Bug fixes and security patches during the support period

Frequently Asked Questions

​

How long will Vuetify 4 be supported?

Vuetify 4 will receive full support until the next major version (v5) is released, followed by a 6-month LTS period.

​

Can I still use Vuetify 2?

Yes, but it’s not recommended for new projects. Vuetify 2 is EOL and receives no updates. Consider commercial support if you cannot upgrade immediately.

​

What happens after the LTS period ends?

After the LTS period, the version becomes EOL and receives no official support. You should migrate to a supported version or arrange commercial support.

​

Are security patches backported?

Security patches are provided for the current version and LTS versions only. EOL versions do not receive security patches unless you have commercial support.

​
