[Airship-discuss] End of Python 3.5 and Ubuntu 16.04 Support

[Drew Walters]

Airship community,

Today the Airship Technical Committee decided to end support of Python 3.5 and Ubuntu 16.04 (Xenial Xerus) for Airship 1. If you are using Airship 1 with Python 3.5 or Ubuntu 16.04, please contact the Technical Committee <tc at airshipit.org> before October 4th.

Following the October 4th Technical Committee meeting, we will begin removing continuous integration jobs and publishing artifacts using the technologies. Python 3.5 reached end-of-life status on September 13, 2020 [0], and Ubuntu 16.04 is only supported through purchase of Canonical's Extended Security Maintenance product [1].

If you have any questions, please contact the Airship Technical Committee.

Thank you,

Drew Walters
Airship Technical Committee
