Version Numbering
To understand the version numbering, remember that version 2.06 was preceded by 1.92, 2.00, and 2.05. LimeSurvey 2.06 is important because this was the moment in which LimeSurvey started to provide:
- a LTS version: 2.06LTS. It was later renamed to 2.6.x on October 24, 2016. This version will be supported until the launch of the next LTS version.
- up-to-date version. The first up-to-date version after 2.06 was 2.50, which was released on February 2, 2016. Since then, new features have been added with the releases of LimeSUrvey 2.6x.x and 2.7x.x. After the last release of 2.7x, LimeSurvey 3 was launched on December 22, 2017.

With the release of the next LTS version which will be based on LimeSurvey 3, no more support will be provided to any LimeSurvey version, including the LimeSurvey 2.6.xLTS.

Templates and workarounds
All three major versions use different template engines and templates will not be compatible between them.
Templates are called "themes" in 3.x.
Long-term support, LTS
3.x will be the only LTS version.
