Support and versions
Policy effective 5 September 2026.
Supported versions
| Release line | Maintenance commitment | Through (inclusive) |
|---|---|---|
| Latest 8.x minor | Bug fixes and security fixes | 5 September 2027 |

When a new 8.x minor ships, upgrade to that minor to continue receiving bug and security fixes. The 7.1.x line receives security backports during its stated window.
Upstream compatibility
For every new stable major of React, React Router or Vite, we will publish a supported, investigating or unsupported statement within 30 days of its release. We will publish that statement in GitHub Discussions or Releases and link to the tested combinations where applicable. A permissive peer dependency range alone is not a support statement.
Response commitments
- We will provide a human acknowledgment of a GitHub issue within five business days.
- We will provide a human acknowledgment of a security report within two business days. Follow the security reporting policy to report privately.
These are acknowledgment targets; the time needed to investigate and resolve a report depends on its scope. Business days are Monday through Friday, excluding public holidays observed by the responding maintainer.
Issues explicitly labeled needs-reproduction receive an inactivity reminder after 30 days and may be closed 14 days later. Issues labeled bug, confirmed or enhancement, and all pull requests, are exempt. Add the requested reproduction and reopen the issue, or ask a maintainer to reopen it in a comment.
Deprecations and breaking changes
We will announce deprecations at least 90 days and two minor releases before removal, and remove deprecated APIs only in a major release. Both notice periods must be satisfied. Raising the package's Node.js requirement counts as a breaking change and requires a major release.
Maintenance updates
We will publish a short maintenance note each month, beginning in September 2026, in GitHub Discussions or Releases. Each note will cover maintenance activity and compatibility status, including months with no release.
