Electron's official support policy is the latest 3 stable releases. Our stable
release and end-of-life dates are determined by Chromium, and may be subject to
change. While we try to keep our planned release and end-of-life dates frequently
updated here, future dates may change if affected by upstream scheduling changes,
and may not always be accurately reflected.
See [Chromium's public release schedule](https://chromiumdash.appspot.com/schedule) for
definitive information about Chromium's scheduled release dates.
