Compatibility Promise

decK’s compatibility guarantees are:

  • The state file generated by decK will remain forward-compatible for each major version series (1.x, 2.x, etc). This means that a state file generated by version 1.x of decK will remain compatible with every version 1.y, where y > x.
  • decK’s CLI commands and flags will remain forward-compatible for each major version series.

API of decK’s Go code will change as development progresses. decK’s exported Go packages, functions, interfaces, and data-structures are not part of the compatibility promise.

Thank you for your feedback.
