    <p>Rudder 5.0, has reached  EOL, which was set on <b>9th March 2020</b>.</p>

      upgrade process we released a public 5.0.17 on the <b>23th April
        2020</b> <br>
    </p>
    <p> Indeed, when Rudder 6.0.0 was released, in December 2020, we
      announced [1] that security corrections and bug fixes would be
      provided on the 5.0.* series for a further 3 months, (and as said
