# Versioning and Branching in controller-runtime
|
|
|
|
We follow the [common KubeBuilder versioning guidelines][guidelines], and
|
|
use the corresponding tooling.
|
|
|
|
For the purposes of the aforementioned guidelines, controller-runtime
|
|
counts as a "library project", but otherwise follows the guidelines
|
|
exactly.

|
|
|
## Compatiblity and Release Support
|
|
|
|
For release branches, we generally tend to support backporting one (1)
|
|
major release (`release-{X-1}` or `release-0.{Y-1}`), but may go back
|
|
further if the need arises and is very pressing (e.g. security updates).
|
|
|
|
### Dependency Support
|
|
|
|
Note the [guidelines on dependency versions][dep-versions]. Particularly:
|
|
|
|
- We **DO** guarantee Kubernetes REST API compability -- if a given
|
|
version of controller-runtime stops working with what should be
|
|
a supported version of Kubernetes, this is almost certainly a bug.
|
|
|
|
- We **DO NOT** guarantee any particular compability matrix between
|
|
kubernetes library dependencies (client-go, apimachinery, etc); Such
|
|
compability is infeasible due to the way those libraries are versioned.
