2 weeks ago - New major releases of Node.js are cut from the GitHub main branch every six months. Even-numbered versions are cut in April and odd-numbered versions are cut in October. When a new odd version is released, the previous even version undergoes transition to Long Term Support (LTS), which gives that version 12 months of active support from the date it is designated LTS.
How does Node LTS work
Long Term Support versions still receive minor updates and patches, mainly for security and bug fixes. You should always upgrade to the latest release for your chosen (major) version. At the time of writing: v20.15.0 is the latest release for v20.x LTS (iron) according to https://nodejs.org/en/about/previous-releases Edit: fixed semantics More on reddit.com

Upgrade web app from Node version 14.x to 20.x
I would start by doing incremental update from 14 to 16 then fix any breaking changes including the projects dependencies. Then goes from 16 to 18 and repeat the cycle. Eventually you will end up with version 20. It will take quite some time but I think if something broke it's easier to track and isolate and then fix what's broken More on reddit.com

r/node on Reddit: How does Node LTS work
June 21, 2024 -
We recently switched to the new LTS Active Version 20.13
Then, a couple of days later I saw the new LTS was 20.14 and yesterday? they released LTS 20.15
I always thought that a LTS Version does not get any new features as to not cause regressions and only gets Patch (SemVer) / Security Patches.
Is the LTS 20.13 still receiving those or is it not an LTS anymore?

LTS means long time support version 20 is the LTS version while 20.X just means it got patched with a non-breaking change. In case about the change beeing a minor and not a hotfix is because it's not a critical update. So you need to update regulary for security reasons, but you can be sure nothing will break by doing the update. That's what LTS is meant to do in all languages and packages. Edit: So question is, 20.13 still an LTS? Not really, it is outdated and possibly a security risk, but updating to a recent 20.x.x won't break stuff. LTS just means they support and provide patches for a long period to Version 20.

5 days ago - Major Node.js versions enter Current release status for six months, which gives library authors time to add support for them. After six months, odd-numbered releases (9, 11, etc.) become unsupported, and even-numbered releases (10, 12, etc.) move to Active LTS status and are ready for general use.
