According to this post (https://code.blender.org/2020/02/release-planning-2020-2025/) referenced at the bottom of the official Blender LTS download page, Blender 3.3 LTS was proposed to release in May of this year, but that didn't seem to happen (yet?). In fact, only Blender 2 has LTS releases so far, with the latest one (2.93 LTS) initially released in June 2021.

This left me wondering:

  • Is there still a plan for Blender 3 to have LTS releases?
  • If yes, is it known when we can expect the first one and which minor version it will be based on?

    $\begingroup$ Hello and welcome. Your question is more of guess at the moment, only the developers have the answer. The site is for questions about how to do things in Blender. If you are looking fo a discussion type, try with Blender artists or Blender in Reddit. $\endgroup$

    $\begingroup$ @sefexin245 By the way, you could watch Blender Today on youtube, it's a live stream and you can ask the question there $\endgroup$

    $\begingroup$ @MartynasŽiemys Many other questions might have answers that are not guessing, that doesn't automatically qualify for being on-topic. To me this is a question regarding Blender's development, which is considered off-topic according to this community post (4.): What questions should be definitely off-topic? $\endgroup$

    $\begingroup$ @MartynasŽiemys I thought of the C/C++ as distinction to Python scripting which is considered on-topic, and not every example has to be explicitly mentioned. Since you've answered and it's accepted already it doesn't matter much anyway. And what does me believing if we see Blender 3.3 LTS next month or not have to do with considering it off-topic? never said your answer is wrong... I just think the question is of no future value for users struggling with working in Blender. And the closer the release date is, the more irrelevant the question is on a site like this. But that's just my opinion. $\endgroup$

It says it here that version 3.3 is going to be LTS. So once it is released, it is going to be LTS. Blender 3.3 is the next version that is going to be released. We can see it here that it is currently in beta stage. I believe it will be released some time next month. A quick web search finds a few mentions of September 7 like here so even if it's late a few days, it is going to happen.
