# Versioning and Releases
|
|
|
|
Note: This document references terminology defined at http://semver.org.
|
|
|
|
## Release Frequency
|
|
|
|
Regular MINOR releases of gRPC-Go are performed every six weeks. Patch releases
|
|
to the previous two MINOR releases may be performed on demand or if serious
|
|
security problems are discovered.
|
|
|
|
## Versioning Policy
|
|
|
|
The gRPC-Go versioning policy follows the Semantic Versioning 2.0.0
|
|
specification, with the following exceptions:
|
|
|
|
- A MINOR version will not _necessarily_ add new functionality.
|
|
|
|
- MINOR releases will not break backward compatibility, except in the following
|
|
circumstances:
|
|
|
|
- An API was marked as EXPERIMENTAL upon its introduction.
|
|
- An API was marked as DEPRECATED in the initial MAJOR release.
|
|
- An API is inherently flawed and cannot provide correct or secure behavior.
|
|
|
|
In these cases, APIs MAY be changed or removed without a MAJOR release.
|
|
Otherwise, backward compatibility will be preserved by MINOR releases.
|
|
|
|
For an API marked as DEPRECATED, an alternative will be available (if
|
|
appropriate) for at least three months prior to its removal.
|
|
|
