-In 2015, the TerraLib ​Project Team launched a completely reengineered version of the TerraLib and TerraView ((we adopt a semantic versioning system where each version number has a format Major.Minor.Patch. Bug fixes not affecting the public API increment the patch version, backwards compatible API additions/​changes increment the minor version, and backwards incompatible API changes increment the major version)), named **TerraLib 5.0.0 LTS**. Together with the TerraLib 5.0.0 LTS we also launched GIS **TerraView 5.0.0 LTS**In this wiki page you can find information about TerraLib and TerraView version **5.x.y** LTS, i.e., **version 5.0.0 LTS and subsequent versions**.+After several improvements the TerraLib Project Team is launching **TerraLib 5.6.5**.
