Yep, just a voluntary moderator in the forum, doing this for fun. At least for me. I don't know how much impact Denis's voice is heard when it comes to decisions. But he is not part of the Limesurvey GmbH either.Holch and Denis are not part of LimeSurvey GmbH. So write directly to support@limesurvey.org or open a support ticket.
Just like Jelo said: If you have based your business on Limesurvey, you might want to speak to Carsten, as only he might be able to give you a little bit more information on the direction and how you can ensure your needs are met in the future and how you can be more involved in the project.

PS: Still LS is the only survey system that supports this, hence we need a SUPPORTED LTS.

3.X have some great improvments : a11y issue, theme manager,
And 2.6lts admin look 15 years old
PS : remind too : 2.6lts even on my repo can have security issue not reported but well know on some internet space.

I seriously doubt a responsive admin UI is better for LS. Just like word, pages, excel, wordpress and lots of other packages, we all use it mainly on a laptop with wide screen and lots of pixels. Who edits on a tablet or phone?
And the template manager still seems to change every once in a while. As a business user that scares me.

You will have to write off part of your investments in 2.6.7. All themes and most workarounds will be worthless.
If you want to keep 2.6.7. alive with EOL of PHP5 and Yii1, it will depend on the timeframe if that is a mission impossible. We don't know your cashflow, so it might be worth the effort.
Read this manual.limesurvey.org/LimeSurvey_roadmap .
If you see the demand to open a User interest group for Business users (LS UIG Business), feel free to open a new thread e.g. in development.

No, issue and totally righthvgard wrote: It is very nice that Denis supports v2.6.7 LTS, but I assume I'm a Limesurvey customer, not Denis (don't take it personal please ).
What do you mean by Customer ? I think LimeSurvey GMBH customer are only thosehvgard wrote: As a customer
1. Hosted on limesurvey (with more than 25 response by month)
2. Have a ConfortUpdate (premieum or more) account
If i remind, it can be different in Germany about legal, but i think LimeSurvey GMBH take more care of this customers (like i take more core of my clients for developemnts).

One of my client (using LimeSurvey since 1.70 and before) move to last version because their client like the new admin UI (before they say «your tool is too oldy for us»).hvgard wrote: …

I was wondering about versioning and changelog.
Our concern is about introduction of new features that we should audit for security, before deploying.
I put here some questions and doubts:
a) Are you using Semantic Versioning ?
Do you only add new features inside the mayor release? Can we go green updating minor versions? (3.x.y)
aa) Looks like LS-CE isn't LTS, support will end with 2019, while 4.0 doesn't look stable yet.
What happens to CE users after 2019? Must they migrate directly to 4.x asap?
b) Is there any changelog web page?
I can’t see any CHANGELOG.MD file inside the Github repository neither in this website navigation menu.. I would like to integrate changelog notations with our deployments.

Well, there isn't a "stable" version out yet, so no surprise here.
