I hate being this guy...but the first definition on Miriam Webster, and the one that I'm familiar with is:

'continuing or enduring without fundamental or marked change'

google gives a similar

'lasting or intended to last or remain unchanged indefinitely.'

Both sites list a bunch of synonyms that are closer to long-lasting and durable, but english is subtle. One can't usually swap in a 'synonym' without changing meaning.
