A year after the release of Varnish 4, version 3.0 has been declared end-of-life.

A year has passed since the release of Varnish Cache 4.0.0.

According to our normal release schedule for Varnish Cache, this means

that the previous stable version will stop receiving regular

maintenance.

As of April 10th 2015, Varnish Cache 3.0 reached end of life (EOL) status.

Please use this opportunity to upgrade to Varnish Cache 4.0.

For paying Varnish Plus customers we’ll support Varnish Cache 3.0 and

Varnish Cache Plus 3.0 for at least another year. Please contact me

directly if you have any questions in this regard.

Either way, time to take the upgrade to Varnish 4.0 serious.
