Note!

For MediationZone 9 and 11, we have made a deviation from the general rule of releasing a new major every 24 months, meaning that we will have two more minors for MediationZone 9 and that MediationZone 11 is planned to be released 36 months after the release of MediationZone 9.

Support Lifecycles
