<p>
We typically only release new versions and don't usually patch old releases.
We may consider patching old releases in exceptional circumstances.
It is recommended to always use the latest version of Apache POI.
Work on 6.0.0 has started in the trunk branch. Java 8 support is being removed.
Some deprecated APIs are being removed. The exact scope of changes will be
determined as development progresses.
</p>
<p>
5.5.x releases will continue to be made for critical bug fixes and security issues.
When 6.0.0 is released, 5.5.x will be supported for a limited time after that.
The exact duration of support will be determined at that time.
</p>
<p>
There is no longer any support for POI releases 4.x and earlier. Users
are strongly encouraged to upgrade to the latest version of POI.
