This table shows the versions available (and security supported) at the time of the WordPress release. It does not mean that WordPress provided 100% full support for those versions (but usually does).

Short-lived database releases (MySQL Innovation releases and MariaDB short-term and rolling releases) only receive fixes until the next release ships. They are shown with the month their upstream support ended, for example `12.2 (until 2026-05)`. Long-term releases are shown without a date.
