[Qgis-user] Next LTR RElease

[Neumann, Andreas]

Hi, 

There is a lot of confusion around the LTR version. Just to make it
clear: 2.14 will be advertised as LTR when 2.16 is released. The reason
is, that in order to be stable enough to be called an LTR it should
receive 2-3 bug fixing rounds. Many bug fixes that go into 2.16 are also
backported to 2.14x. 

So expect 2.14 to be advertised as LTR once 2.16 is out - probably in
the second week of July. 

Hope this helps to clarify.
