Lifecycle Policy
Released Versions
Release Policy
Artifact Hub Shim follows a rolling-release maintenance model. Development and maintenance occur on the main product line, and each new release supersedes the previous release.
No fixed end-of-support date is assigned in advance. The latest released version is the supported version. When a newer version becomes available, the previous version stops receiving maintenance and users should upgrade to the latest version.
Maintenance Policy
Bug fixes, security updates, and compatibility improvements are delivered in a new release from the current product line. Alauda does not publish maintenance patches for older Artifact Hub Shim versions after a newer version has been released.
When an issue affects an older installation:
- Review the latest Release Notes for behavioral or configuration changes.
- Back up custom repository definitions and plugin configuration.
- Upgrade the cluster plugin to the latest available version.
- Verify API readiness, source status, and Tekton resolution after the upgrade.
Artifact Hub Shim v1.0.0 is the first generally available release. Supported ACP
patch versions and Alauda DevOps Pipelines releases are listed in
Release Notes.
