Releases

The article describes the release process management of UI5 Web Components.

Release Strategy​

The UI5 Web Components follow the well-known NPM Semantic Versioning strategy and produce the following type of releases:

  • Patch releases

Includes backward compatible bug fixes and increments the third digit, e.g. 2.0.1.

  • Minor releases

Includes backward compatible new features and increments the middle digit and resets the last digit to zero, e.g. 2.1.0, 2.2.0, 2.3.0, etc.

  • Major releases

Includes changes that break backward compatibility and increments the first digit and resets the middle and last digits to zero, e.g. 2.0.0.
