Hi guys,  
When do you expect to end the support for Ignition 7.9? We will commission our project in a few months and need to know if we should deploy it with Ignition 7 or 8.  
Regards.

Ignition 7.9 is supported until December 2021.

The current version of Ignition 8 is not an LTS release and will only be supported until Ignition 8.1 is released, which should be the next LTS version.

I don’t think there’s anything set in stone yet. Probably Q2 next year?
