Releases and compatibility

These pages describe what each release delivered, how it was verified, and which compatibility promises apply. They are records: a report describes the release it belongs to and is not updated afterwards.

Compatibility and process

  • ABI policy — the native compatibility contract, ownership rules, threading, and the history of C ABI versions.

  • Release checklist — how a release is prepared, verified, and tagged.

  • Roadmap — the direction of upcoming releases.
