This document details the versioning and release plan for containerd. Stability
is a top goal for this project and we hope that this document and the processes
it entails will help to achieve that. It covers the release process, versioning
numbering, backporting, API stability and support horizons.
If you rely on containerd, it would be good to spend time understanding the
areas of the API that are and are not supported and how they impact your
project in the future.
This document will be considered a living document. Supported timelines,
backport targets and API stability guarantees will be updated here as they
change.
If there is something that you require or this document leaves out, please
reach out by filing an issue.
Releases
Releases of containerd will be versioned using dotted triples, similar to
Semantic Version. For the purposes of this document, we
will refer to the respective components of this triple as
<major>.<minor>.<patch>. The version number may have additional information,
such as alpha, beta and release candidate qualifications. Such releases will be
considered "pre-releases".
Major and Minor Releases
Major and minor releases of containerd will be made from main. Releases of
containerd will be marked with GPG signed tags and announced at
https://github.com/containerd/containerd/releases. The tag will be of the
format v<major>.<minor>.<patch> and should be made with the command git tag -s v<major>.<minor>.<patch>.
After a minor release, a branch will be created, with the format
release/<major>.<minor> from the minor tag. All further patch releases will
be done from that branch. For example, once we release v1.0.0, a branch
release/1.0 will be created from that tag. All future patch releases will be
done against that branch.
Pre-releases
Pre-releases, such as alphas, betas and release candidates will be conducted
from their source branch. For major and minor releases, these releases will be
done from main. For patch releases, these pre-releases should be done within
the corresponding release branch.
While pre-releases are done to assist in the stabilization process, no
guarantees are provided.
