=== Release cycle ===
A new ''stable'' branch of Debian gets released approximately every 2 years. It will receive official support for about 3 years with update for major security or usability fixes. Point releases will be available every several months as determined by Stable Release Managers (SRM).<ref>{{Cite web |title=Point Releases - Debian Wiki |url=https://wiki.debian.org/DebianReleases/PointReleases |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20190925104409/https://wiki.debian.org/DebianReleases/PointReleases |archive-date=September 25, 2019 |access-date=2017-09-27 |publisher=Debian Release Team}}</ref>

Debian also launched its Long Term Support (LTS) project since Debian 6 (Debian Squeeze). For each Debian release, it will receive two years of extra security updates provided by LTS Team after its End Of Life (EOL). However, no point releases will be made. Now each Debian release can receive 5 years of security support in total.<ref>{{Cite web |date=3 July 2018 |title=LTS - Debian Wiki |url=https://wiki.debian.org/LTS |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20200507040157/https://wiki.debian.org/LTS/ |archive-date=May 7, 2020 |access-date=18 August 2018 |website=Debian LTS Team}}</ref>
