Must i be scared about failles in futur if i stay on 1.5? ..

It's impossible to state what may or may not happen in the future.

At the time of writing, there are no known security issues or exploits with the latest release of XF1.

and when someone will discover a exploits or security issues , you will patch it or didnt do anything anymore for 1.5?

XF 1.5 will be supported for a period of time and then we will eventually stop providing ticket support and further updates to it. The exception to that may be security releases, but that will depend very much on the nature of the specific issue, and some other variables such as how many users still use that version, etc.

We don't have an exact date for when these things will happen but it is unlikely to be a long period of time. Depending on how fast XF 2.0/2.1 is adopted (and XF2 is really exceeding expectations there!), it could be no more than a year.

It’s certainly not the case that people are staying on XF1 and we’re seeing many new and existing customers make the move.

At such a time when we have announced that XF1.5 is end of life, continuing to use it will be at your own risk.

My recommendation is to at least start looking into the feasibility of upgrading now, even if you don’t make the eventual move until much later.
