Redis Enterprise Software follows the [Redis Enterprise lifecycle]({{< relref "/operate/rs/installing-upgrading/product-lifecycle" >}}). (For complete details, see the Redis Enterprise Software [subscription agreement](https://redis.com/software-subscription-agreement).)

The modules included in Redis Stack also follow a release lifecycle and schedule. Here, you'll find the "end-of-life" dates for each module and release.

Suggesting to replace "(CE)" to "(Redis CE)".

Instead of "Redis Community Edition formerly called Redis Stack", we should say that we consolidated Redis, Redis Stack, RediSearch, RedisJSON, RedisTimeSeries, and RedisBloom into a single Product - Redis Community Edition (Redis CE).

Here, you'll find the "end-of-life" dates for each module and release.

Instead of saying that we EoL the modules, which may be quite confusing. We should better say that we incorporated the modules into Redis CE and we no longer offer them as separate downloadables.


## Module release numbering

Expand All @@ -23,11 +23,28 @@ The format is “Major1.Major2.Minor”.

- The _Minor_ section of the version number represents quality improvements and fixes to existing capabilities. The minor release number is increased when release quality improves.

## Module end-of-life schedule {#modules-endoflife-schedule}

End-of-Life for a given Major version is 18 months after the formal release of
that version or 12 months after the release of the next subsequent (following) version, whichever comes last.

## Module end-of-life schedule after Redis CE 8.0

In Redis CE 8.0 and beyond, module version numbers will align exactly with the Redis CE versions that include them.
For example, the modules included with Redis CE 8.0 will all have version number 8.0.

This also means that Redis CE versions 8.0+ require modules with an exact match in version number.

We can remove this sentence because CE does not "require" modules. It includes modules.

We don't even want to mention "modules" anymore, these are capabilities. The fact that they are packaged as modules is an internal implementation detail.


### Redis Community Edition

Included modules:
- Redis scalable query engine
- JSON data structure
- Probabilistic data structures
- Time series data structure
