Umbraco 8 is soon going to loose maintenance and support services. More on this news has been explained here inside the blog.
After February 24, 2025, Umbraco 8 will no longer receive security support. This critical milestone marks the end of official developer support for Umbraco 8, highlighting a phase in its software lifecycle known as End-of-Life (EOL). During EOL, software ceases to receive ongoing support from its developers, who shift their focus to newer, more advanced solutions. These advancements typically include enhanced functionality, bug fixes, improved security features, and performance enhancements.
Can You Continue Using Umbraco 8?
Umbraco 8 will continue to function post EOL. However, unsupported software carries heightened risks such as security vulnerabilities, compliance challenges, and potential operational instability. To navigate this transition effectively, we strongly recommend considering a rebuild or upgrading to a supported version of Umbraco.
