Supported releases¶
This page lists the status, timeline and policy for currently supported releases of CloudNativePG.
Supported releases of CloudNativePG include releases that are in the activemaintenance window and are patched for security and bug fixes.
Subsequent patch releases on a minor release do not contain backwardincompatible changes.
Support policy¶
We produce new builds of CloudNativePG for each commit.
Roughly every two months, we build a minor release and run through severaladditional tests as well as release qualification. We release patch versionsfor issues found in minor releases.
The various types of releases represent a different product quality level andlevel of assistance from the CloudNativePG community.
In this context, support means that the community will produce patch releasesfor critical issues and offer technical assistance.
Type |
Support Level |
Quality and Recommended Use |
|---|---|---|
Development Build |
No support |
Dangerous, may not be fully reliable. Useful to experiment with. |
Minor Release |
Support provided until 1 month after the N+2 minor release (ex. 1.15 supported until 1 month after 1.17.0 is released) |
|
Patch |
Same as the corresponding Minor release |
Users are encouraged to adopt patch releases as soon as they are available for a given release. |
Security Patch |
Same as a Patch, however, it will not contain any additional code other than the security fix from the previous patch |
Given the nature of security fixes, users are strongly encouraged to adopt security patches after release. |
You can find available releases on the releases page .
You can find high-level more information for each minor and patch release in the Release notes .
Naming scheme¶
Our naming scheme is based on Semantic Versioning 2.0.0 as follows:
<major>.<minor>.<patch>
where <minor> is increased for each release, and <patch> counts
the number of patches for thecurrent <minor> release. A patch is
usually a small change relative to the <minor> release.
Git tags for versions are prepended with v .
