   3 Release notes
   4 =============
   5
   6 These release notes record the changes made in all major and patch
   7 releases of |Gromacs|. Major releases contain changes to the
   8 functionality supported, whereas patch releases contain only fixes for
   9 issues identified in the corresponding major releases.
  10
  11 Two versions of |Gromacs| are under active maintenance, the 2022
  12 series and the 2021 series. In the latter, only highly conservative
  13 fixes will be made, and only to address issues that affect scientific
  14 correctness. Naturally, some of those releases will be made after the
  15 year 2021 ends, but we keep 2021 in the name so users understand how
  16 up to date their version is. Such fixes will also be incorporated into
  17 the 2022 release series, as appropriate. Around the time the 2023
  18 release is made, the 2021 series will no longer be maintained.
  19
  20 Where issue numbers are reported in these release notes, more details
  21 can be found on the `issue tracker`_ at that issue number.
