Release Cadence
Starting with OAP 1.1.0, OAP project follows the semantic versioning guidelines with a few deviations. These small differences account for OAP’s nature as a multi-module project.
OAP Versions
Each OAP release will be versioned: [MAJOR].[FEATURE].[MAINTENANCE]
Release Cadence
In general, major feature releases occur about every 4 months. Hence, OAP would generally be released about 4 months after 1.1.0. Maintenance releases happen as needed in between feature releases. Major releases do not happen according to a fixed schedule.
