I have a question regarding Nim 2.0.* and 1.6.* branches. I couldn't find the answer in the blog or on the forum.
What's the update policy with these branches? Are there going to be any more 1.6 releases? What is a security issue is discovered in 1.6.20, will 1.6.22 be released?
In the blog, 1.6.20 is referred to as LTS but I couldn't find any description of how long this long term is exactly or what it means specifically for Nim.
LTS means it indeed is supposed to receive security updates for at least 5 years.
1.6.20 was released two years ago: https://nim-lang.org/blog/2024/04/16/versions-1620-204-released.html
afair 2.0 is not an LTS, but 1.6 and 2.2 are.
So, no more 2.0.x releases are planned? The last one was a year ago: https://nim-lang.org/blog/2025/04/22/nim-224-2016.html
