 ================
 
-Blender offers two different binary packages; you can choose from a stable release or a daily build.
-The first has the benefit of being more reliable,
-the latter provides the newest features, as they are developed, at the cost of stability.
+Blender offers a variety of different binary packages to choose from depending on their level of stability.
+Each package has the trade off of newest feature versus stability.
+The package that is right for you depends on your requirements for newest feature or stability.
+A studio for example might want to have *long-term support*, while a hobbyist may want newer features,
+while others may just want to test upcoming features.
+Each package described below has something just right for everyone.
 
-`Latest Stable Release <https://www.blender.org/download/>`__

-   It is considered stable and without regressions.
+`Stable Release <https://www.blender.org/download/>`__

+   A new stable release version is available about every four months.
 
+`Long-term Support <https://www.blender.org/download/lts/>`__
+   A package designed for long-lasting projects requiring a very stable version of Blender.
+   :abbr:`LTS (Long-Term-Support)` releases are supported for two years
+   and will not have any new features, API changes or improvements.
+   A New long-term support version is available every year.
+
 `Daily Builds <https://builder.blender.org/download>`__

    These versions are not as thoroughly tested as the stable release, and might break,
    although they are official and usually not highly experimental.
