+synopsis: r151054 - the latest stable and LTS OmniOS release - is out!
+---
+
+OmniOSce v11 r151054 is out!
+
+On the 5th of May 2025, the OmniOSce Association has released a new stable
+version of OmniOS - The Open Source Enterprise Server OS. The release comes
+with many tool updates, brand-new features and additional hardware support. For
+details see the [release notes](https://omnios.org/rn/r54).
+
+**Note that r151050 is now end-of-life.** You should upgrade to r151052
+or r151054 to stay on a supported track. r151054 is a long-term-supported (LTS)
+release with support until May 2028.
+
+For anyone who tracks LTS releases, the previous LTS - r151046 - now enters its
+last year. You should plan to upgrade to r151054 during the next twelve months
+for continued support.
+
+OmniOS is fully Open Source and free. Nevertheless, it takes a lot of time and
+money to keep maintaining a full-blown operating system distribution. Our
+statistics show that there are almost 2'000 active installations of OmniOS
+while fewer than 20 people send regular contributions. If your organisation
+uses OmniOS based servers, please consider becoming a regular
+[patron](https://omnios.org/patron) or taking out a
+[support contract](https://omnios.org/invoice).
