| # Gopls: Release policy |
| |
| Gopls releases follow [semver](http://semver.org), with major changes and new |
| features introduced only in new minor versions (i.e. versions of the form |
| `v*.N.0` for some N). Subsequent patch releases contain only cherry-picked |
| fixes or superficial updates. |
| |
| In order to align with the |
| [Go release timeline](https://github.com/golang/go/wiki/Go-Release-Cycle#timeline), |
| we aim to release a new minor version of Gopls approximately every three |
| months, with patch releases approximately every month, according to the |
| following table: |
| |
| | Month | Version(s) | |
| | ---- | ------- | |
| | Jan | `v*.<N+0>.0` | |
| | Jan-Mar | `v*.<N+0>.*` | |
| | Apr | `v*.<N+1>.0` | |
| | Apr-Jun | `v*.<N+1>.*` | |
| | Jul | `v*.<N+2>.0` | |
| | Jul-Sep | `v*.<N+2>.*` | |
| | Oct | `v*.<N+3>.0` | |
| | Oct-Dec | `v*.<N+3>.*` | |
| |
