Releases Guide

This guide covers release conventions and guidelines for AG Charts.

Release Schedule

• Releases are typically monthly for minor releases, and 6-monthly for major releases (typically in June and December).
• Patch releases are typically only for critical bug fixes, at most weekly.

Release Constraints

• Minor releases cannot have breaking changes, we must hold these back for major releases.
  • Deprecations are allowed, but must be clearly marked as deprecated and still work as before.
  • Deprecated features/options are typically immediately removed from public website documentation to discourage use.

Release Branch Naming

• Release branch names are of the form b12.0.0
