Life of releases

Introduction

Versioning summary

The version labels of this product's are composed by 3 components: mayor release, minor release, patch release. We increment this numbers as follows:

  • Mayor release when we add new functionalities that MAY make incompatible API changes.
  • Minor release when we add new functionalities that in a backwards-compatible manner.
  • Patch version when we make backwards-compatible bug fixes.

Built upon Semantic Versioning

Active Support and End of Life Support

When we publish a new product version we provide, at least, a year of Active Support. Active Support means that patches for bug fixes and security issues detected by users owning an valid subscription will be provided.

When we publish a product version that supersedes an existing one (a new minor version release), Active Support for the previous version will be extended, at least, for 6 months.

For example:

  • Versions 1.1 and 1.2 exist.
  • We publish a new minor version: 1.3.
  • We extend Active Support to version 1.2 for 6 months after version 1.3 publish date.

When a new mayor version is published we will grant, at least, a year of Active Support for the last minor version of the previous mayor release.

For example:

  • Versions 1.1, 1.2 and 1.3 exist.
  • We publish a new mayor version: 2.
  • We extend Active Support to version 1.3 for a year after version 2 publish date.

A version of a Hawkore's product enters End of Life once it is no longer Actively Supported. Once a product version enters this state state, we still provide an additional six months period of limited support. This support only includes patches with fixes for bugs detected by users owning an valid subscription.

Once this year period is past, we will no longer provide any kind of support for that version, you will need to upgrade to a supported version.

For example:

  • Versions 1.1, 1.2 and 1.3 exist.
  • We publish a new mayor version: 2.
  • We extend Active Support to version 1.3 for a year after version 2 publish date.
  • After that year, version 1.3 enters End of Life and we provide an additional six months period of limited support.
  • A year and a half after version 2 publish date we stop providing support for version 1.3.
