Documentation for other PE versions

Documentation for each PE version is initially published on our documentation website (where you are now). We actively maintain documentation for our leading-edge PE release stream (also known as STS), the current LTS stream, and, when applicable, the ongoing support stream (which is the previous LTS until it reaches EOL).

Documentation for end-of-life (EOL) and superseded major versions (formatted as <YEAR>.y, such as 2023.0, 2023.1, and so on) may continue to be available on our documentation website while no longer being updated, and, eventually, moved to our PE docs archive on GitHub.

For LTS releases, we do not separately publish documentation for each incremental version (formatted as <YEAR>.y.z, such as 2021.7.0, 2021.7.1, and so on). To find PDFs of prior LTS incremental versions, go to our PE docs archive on GitHub.

When we start a new LTS stream, we continue to host (but do not update) the prior major versions for that stream for some time. For example, if the LTS is 2021.7.z, then we retain 2021.0 through 2021.6 for a limited amount of time. For the prior LTS, we continue to host the latest increment of that stream during the overlap support period and up to one year after.

To find documentation for any version earlier than the current LTS stream's earliest major version (such as 2021.0) or, when applicable, the most recent overlap support incremental version, you must go to our PE docs archive on GitHub.

Archived documentation is commonly retained as PDF. You may find some older versions retained in markdown format.
