## Supported Versions
_**Note:** Beginning in September 2021 with Electron 15, the Electron team
will temporarily support the latest **four** stable major versions. This
extended support is intended to help Electron developers transition to
the [new eight week release cadence](https://electronjs.org/blog/8-week-cadence), and will continue until May 2022, with
the release of Electron 19. At that time, the Electron team will drop support
back to the latest three stable major versions._
The latest three *stable* major versions are supported by the Electron team.
For example, if the latest release is 6.1.x, then the 5.0.x as well
as the 4.2.x series are supported. We only support the latest minor release
