Versioning Policy

All of the Stream Chat packages follow semantic versioning.

That means that with a version number x.y.z (major.minor.patch):

• When releasing bug fixes (backwards compatible), we make a patch release by changing the z number (ex: 3.6.2 to 3.6.3). A bug fix is defined as an internal change that fixes incorrect behavior.
• When releasing new features or non-critical fixes, we make a minor release by changing the y number (ex: 3.6.2 to 3.7.0).
• When releasing breaking changes (backward incompatible), we make a major release by changing the x number (ex: 3.6.2 to 4.0.0).

See the semantic versioning section from the Dart docs for more information.

This versioning policy does not apply to prerelease packages (below major version of 1). See this StackOverflow thread for more information on Dart package versioning.

Whenever possible, we will add deprecation warnings in preparation for future breaking changes.
