That means we are no longer building new features for it, and that we only ship security updates. EasyApache 3 is currently scheduled for deprecation early in 2018. We will send out a notification giving providers at least three months notice prior to official deprecation. After that, though, EasyApache 3 will no longer receive any updates.<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin: 10px 0px 0px; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;\">If you&#8217;re still using EasyApache 3 for a specific reason, and there&#8217;s something holding you back from moving to EasyApache 4, I want to hear from you!
