Angular is a fast paced technology with a new major version every 6 months. PrimeNG release cycle is aligned with Angular and every 6 months a new major PrimeNG version is released as open source that is compatible with the latest Angular core. The maintenance releases of the latest PrimeNG version are provided as free and open source for the following 6 months until the new major Angular version is ready.
Majority of the existing applications prefer to remain at a previous version due to stability requirements instead of upgrading to the latest version immediately. PrimeNG LTS is a support service to provide a license for the finest compatible version suited to you. LTS covers the prior two versions from the latest release, this means up to 18 months of almost bi-weekly releases to bring the latest defect fixes and security updates to your project. As an example, when PrimeNG moves to Angular 18, v17 and v16 will move to LTS support whereas STS (short term support) versions of PrimeNG 18 will be open source under MIT license for at least 6 months until Angular/PrimeNG 19 is released.
STS means open source short term support whereas LTS stands for commercial long term support. Legacy versions are only supported by PrimeNG PRO.
| Version | Status | End of STS | End of LTS |
|---|---|---|---|
| STS | After v18 release | After v20 release | |
| LTS | After v17 release | After v19 release | |
| LTS | After v16 release | After v18 release | |
| Legacy | After v15 release | After v17 release | |
| Legacy | After v14 release | After v16 release | |
| Legacy | After v13 release | After v15 release |
