Update backwards compatibility guidance #1461

Closed NoraGDS closed 2 years ago

NoraGDS commented 2 years ago

What

We will be removing backwards compatibility in the next breaking release - v13.0.0.

The guidance for backwards compatibility needs updating: https://govuk-prototype-kit.herokuapp.com/docs/backwards-compatibility

Why

The instructions say you will update to 7 or above, but following them will update you to the latest version. It's likely the instructions might not work.

Linked to removal of v6 support: https://github.com/alphagov/govuk-prototype-kit/issues/1308

Linked to release v13.0.0

Who needs to be involved

Content designer, interaction designer, developer

Done when

Draft guidance for input: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1eBZO6V19WF43TlXgmGBvzlR2fymQc37rTCcRyG729BE/edit#

Team decided on Tuesday 28 June that we will no longer support backwards compatibility and users need to upgrade to v13. We will keep the guidance for internal support documentation.
