2sxc 19.03 LTS was just released. LTS stands for Long Term Stable.
TL;DR
The previous LTS was about a year ago.
A LOT has happened in a year, and you probably missed most of it.
This should provide you with an overview, and hopefully catch your eye if something applies to you.
We'll try to post lots of blogs and tutorials about everything these next few weeks 🤞🏼.
