The Gluster releases follow a 3-month cycle and, with alternating Short-Term-Maintenance and Long-Term-Maintenance versions. GlusterFS 3.8 is currently the oldest Long-Term-Maintenance release, and will become End-Of-Life with the GlusterFS 3.12 version. If all goes according to plan, 3.12 will get released in August and is the last 3.x version before Gluster 4.0 hits the disks.
There will be a few more releases in the GlusterFS 3.8 line, but users should start to plan an upgrade to a version that receives regular bugfix updates after August.
