Extended support versions no longer updated?

[Asesh Shrestha]

Hi, 

So currently, the extended support version of Chromium is 116. Now if you look at this page: https://chromiumdash.appspot.com/releases?platform=Windows

Today, Google rolled out a patch for the 0-day exploit, and that patch is only available for 117 but not 116 extended support. Also, the Google Chrome release channel blog no longer mentions any updates for extended support versions: https://chromereleases.googleblog.com/. As you can see on that page, an update for 117 has been specified but not 116.

Previously, extended support versions continued to get security updates until and unless they were no longer supported. Am I missing something?

Thanks

116.0.5845.228 and newer has the fix. Check again tomorrow to see if a
new update gets pushed out?

Hi Lei,

So why isn't that information updated here:  https://chromiumdash.appspot.com/releases?platform=Windows and neither is any information published to Chrome release blog?

Thanks

Since the update with the fix for your 0-day of interest has not been
published yet, why would you expect the release dashboard to show a
non-existent release? Similarly, why would you expect a post on the
release blog about a release that hasn't happened yet?

Ok, so when it will be published when it's rolled out. Our Chromium fork uses LTS, so to keep our users safe, we need to sync the latest changes too. That's why I was confused on why those data were not published.

Thanks
