+## **Supported Versions**
+
+We regularly perform patch releases for the supported latest version `<!-- Link to the latest version/build location/latest tag -->`, which contains fixes for relevant security vulnerabilities and important bugs. Prior releases might receive critical security fixes on a best-effort basis. However, we cannot guarantee that security fixes will get back-ported to these unsupported versions.
