Dear Qubes Community,

Qubes OS releases are normally supported for six months after each
subsequent major or minor release. [1][2] However, in light of the more
demanding system requirements of Qubes 4.0, we previously announced that
we were extending the support period for Qubes 3.2 to one full year
after the release of Qubes 4.0. [3][4] Since Qubes 4.0 was released on
2018-03-28, support for Qubes 3.2 is extended until 2019-03-28. [5][6]

Therefore, we strongly urge all current Qubes 3.2 users to upgrade to
Qubes 4.0 before Qubes 3.2 reaches end-of-life (EOL) on 2019-03-28. [7]
As always, the latest release is available on the downloads page. [8]

Qubes 3.2 has a really friendly environment overall, but it already
feels like ages since I used it for any length of time. I'm sorry to see
it go but also glade we have Qubes 4.0.
