We now focus exclusively on providing fixes to bugs that satisfy at least one of the following criteria:

* A security flaw is detected in the 1.7.x branch of the framework
* One of the major browsers releases a version that will cause current production applications using AngularJS 1.7.x to stop working
* The jQuery library releases a version that will cause current production applications using AngularJS 1.7.x to stop working.

AngularJS 1.2.x will get a new version if and only if a new severe security issue is discovered.
