The Blender Developers have graced us with two simultaneous Blender LTS releases: Blender 3.3.1 LTS and Blender 2.93.11 LTS! Blender 2.93 LTS will be supported officially until 2023, while the this is the first corrective release of many in the 3.3 series, which has just been released and will be supported officially for two more years.
As usual with corrective releases, it is highly recommended to upgrade.
These releases contain only bug fixes and minor improvements, they are fully compatible with your current projects and are considered safe to be used in a production environment. #b3d #DevFund

This double release packs a punch: the 2.93.11 release comes in hot with 11 bug fixes in total, bringing the total number of fixes since the original release to more than 261 so far. The 3.3.1 release on the other hand brings 74 new bug fixes since its last one. This latest update has already rolled out on Steam, the Microsoft Store, and Snap, and can be downloaded from the link below.
Blender's LTS program runs alongside the regular Blender releases and provides long-term support for a stable version of Blender to allow studios and individuals to finish big productions without having to swap versions to benefit from bug updates. You can check out the Blender LTS schedule here.
