Blender 2.83.17 LTS (Long Term Support) has just been released, adding 8 more bug fixes to one of the stablest and most well-maintained versions of Blender yet.
Even though this is a minor update, it is still highly recommended to keep your Blender LTS always up-to-date.
Remember that LTS releases contain only bug fixes and are considered safe to upgrade even during production.https://t.co/m5yB75iFML #b3d #DevFund #LTS pic.twitter.com/76NNv66ZRG

This marks the sixteenth(!!) maintenance release in the 2.83 LTS series, bringing the total number of fixes since the original release to more than 242 so far. The 2.83 LTS program is expected to be maintained until 2022. Some of the fixes include Eevee viewport bug fixes and more.
Blender's LTS program runs alongside the regular Blender releases (Blender 2.93.2 LTS has just been released!), and provides long-term support for one stable version of Blender to allow studios and individuals to finish big productions without having to swap versions to benefit from bug updates.
