- General Availability (GA)
-
A release line, such as Antora 2.x, enters general availability on the date the initial, final major version (e.g., Antora 2.0.0) of the software is released and available for download.
- Active
-
Release line is being actively improved and supported.
- Maintenance
-
Once a release line enters its maintenance period, only its most recent minor version will receive critical security patch releases. A release line starts this phase 30 days after the next major release line goes GA.
- End of Life (EOL)
-
The date after which the release line no longer receives support or releases.
Version policy
Antora follows the semantic versioning rules. Each Antora component release is versioned major.minor.patch.
- Major
-
Major releases occur when there are substantial changes in functionality or when new functionality breaks backwards compatibility. Releases within the same major release line will maintain API compatibility.
- Minor
-
Minor releases add new features, improvements to existing features, and fixes that maintain backwards compatibility.
- Patch
-
Patch releases fix bugs and maintain backwards compatibility. Only the latest minor release of a major release line will receive patches. Patch releases happen as needed depending on the urgency of the fix.
- Prerelease
-
Major and minor releases may include prerelease versions (major.minor.patch-alpha.n | -beta.n | -rc.n). Prerelease versions will be tagged as next so that the npm client doesn’t prefer a prerelease over a stable version. Once a release candidate (rc) has been thoroughly tested, the stable release will be published.
