RE: Informix stable versions

Good afternoon. Below is an excerpt of an email I received a couple of days ago. It not only answers your concern about IDS 7.3 going category 4 by year end but gives you links to the other information you requested. Informix updated its Product Lifecycle category definitions on September 30, 2000. The Informix Product Lifecycle is the primary means by which Informix communicates its product release, product enhancement, and product obsolescence plans. Informix's Product Lifecycle Web pages are updated at the end of every quarter. The latest updates to the lifecycle lists were made on September 30, 2000 and can be accessed using the following URL in TechInfo Center (support customer's password required) at: http://www.informix.com/informix/services/ilink/plc/plc.htm If you don't currently have a password to the TechInfo Center it can be obtained on-line using the following URL: http://www.informix.com/informix/services/techinfo/ilenroll.htm In order to keep current with the latest technology and technical support entitlements, you are encouraged to check the lifecycle lists frequently. Some of the significant lifecycle changes that took place on September 30, 2000 are summarized below. Please check the lifecycle periodically for future changes and updates. The next scheduled update to the product life cycle is scheduled for December 31, 2000. Please note that Informix Dynamic Server 7.30 has been extended from a Category Four date of December 31, 2000 to now June 30, 2001.
