Scala version lifecycle
language · Scala Center / EPFL
Current status
Supported version lines, end-of-life status, and latest releases for Scala — derived from official vendor sources, not third-party EOL aggregators.
Scala is a JVM language combining object-oriented and functional programming, with separate Scala 2 and Scala 3 compiler release trains.
Scala lifecycle follows scala-lang.org/development: Scala 3.3 is the current LTS; Scala Next minors are actively developed; Scala 2.13 has indefinite maintenance and 2.12 minimal maintenance. No invented calendar EOL dates.
Security: 3 tracked advisories. Details below — lifecycle and vulnerability status are separate.
