# Versioning | ||
|
||
This document describes the versioning policy for this repository. This policy | ||
is designed so the following goals can be achieved. | ||
|
||
**Users are provided a codebase of value that is stable and secure.** | ||
|
||
## Policy | ||
|
||
* Versioning of this project will be idiomatic of a Go project using [Go | ||
modules](https://github.com/golang/go/wiki/Modules). | ||
* [Semantic import | ||
versioning](https://github.com/golang/go/wiki/Modules#semantic-import-versioning) | ||
will be used. | ||
* Versions will comply with [semver 2.0](https://semver.org/spec/v2.0.0.html). | ||
* If a module is version `v2` or higher, the major version of the module | ||
must be included as a `/vN` at the end of the module paths used in | ||
`go.mod` files (e.g., `module go.opentelemetry.io/otel/v2`, `require | ||
go.opentelemetry.io/otel/v2 v2.0.1`) and in the package import path | ||
(e.g., `import "go.opentelemetry.io/otel/v2/trace"`). This includes the | ||
paths used in `go get` commands (e.g., `go get | ||
go.opentelemetry.io/otel/[email protected]`. Note there is both a `/v2` and a | ||
`@v2.0.1` in that example. One way to think about it is that the module | ||
name now includes the `/v2`, so include `/v2` whenever you are using the | ||
module name). | ||
* If a module is version `v0` or `v1`, do not include the major version in | ||
either the module path or the import path. | ||
* Modules will be used to encapsulate signals and components. | ||
* Experimental modules still under active development will be versioned at | ||
`v0` to imply the stability guarantee defined by | ||
[semver](https://semver.org/spec/v2.0.0.html#spec-item-4). | ||
|
||
> Major version zero (0.y.z) is for initial development. Anything MAY | ||
> change at any time. The public API SHOULD NOT be considered stable. | ||
* Mature modules for which we guarantee a stable public API will be versioned | ||
with a major version greater than `v0`. | ||
* The decision to make a module stable will be made on a case-by-case | ||
basis by the maintainers of this project. | ||
* Experimental modules will start their versioning at `v0.0.0` and will | ||
increment their minor version when backwards incompatible changes are | ||
released and increment their patch version when backwards compatible | ||
changes are released. | ||
* All stable modules that use the same major version number will use the | ||
same entire version number. | ||
* Stable modules may be released with an incremented minor or patch | ||
version even though that module has not been changed, but rather so | ||
that it will remain at the same version as other stable modules that | ||
did undergo change. | ||
* When an experimental module becomes stable a new stable module version | ||
will be released and will include this now stable module. The new | ||
stable module version will be an increment of the minor version number | ||
and will be applied to all existing stable modules as well as the newly | ||
stable module being released. | ||
* Versioning of the associated [contrib | ||
repository](https://github.com/open-telemetry/opentelemetry-go-contrib) of | ||
this project will be idiomatic of a Go project using [Go | ||
modules](https://github.com/golang/go/wiki/Modules). | ||
* [Semantic import | ||
versioning](https://github.com/golang/go/wiki/Modules#semantic-import-versioning) | ||
will be used. | ||
* Versions will comply with [semver 2.0](https://semver.org/spec/v2.0.0.html). | ||
* If a module is version `v2` or higher, the | ||
major version of the module must be included as a `/vN` at the end of the | ||
module paths used in `go.mod` files (e.g., `module | ||
go.opentelemetry.io/contrib/instrumentation/host/v2`, `require | ||
go.opentelemetry.io/contrib/instrumentation/host/v2 v2.0.1`) and in the | ||
package import path (e.g., `import | ||
"go.opentelemetry.io/contrib/instrumentation/host/v2"`). This includes | ||
the paths used in `go get` commands (e.g., `go get | ||
go.opentelemetry.io/contrib/instrumentation/host/[email protected]`. Note there | ||
is both a `/v2` and a `@v2.0.1` in that example. One way to think about | ||
it is that the module name now includes the `/v2`, so include `/v2` | ||
whenever you are using the module name). | ||
* If a module is version `v0` or `v1`, do not include the major version | ||
in either the module path or the import path. | ||
* In addition to public APIs, telemetry produced by stable instrumentation | ||
will remain stable and backwards compatible. This is to avoid breaking | ||
alerts and dashboard. | ||
* Modules will be used to encapsulate instrumentation, detectors, exporters, | ||
propagators, and any other independent sets of related components. | ||
* Experimental modules still under active development will be versioned at | ||
`v0` to imply the stability guarantee defined by | ||
[semver](https://semver.org/spec/v2.0.0.html#spec-item-4). | ||
|
||
> Major version zero (0.y.z) is for initial development. Anything MAY | ||
> change at any time. The public API SHOULD NOT be considered stable. | ||
* Mature modules for which we guarantee a stable public API and telemetry will | ||
be versioned with a major version greater than `v0`. | ||
* Experimental modules will start their versioning at `v0.0.0` and will | ||
increment their minor version when backwards incompatible changes are | ||
released and increment their patch version when backwards compatible | ||
changes are released. | ||
* Stable contrib modules cannot depend on experimental modules from this | ||
project. | ||
* All stable contrib modules of the same major version with this project | ||
will use the same entire version as this project. | ||
* Stable modules may be released with an incremented minor or patch | ||
version even though that module's code has not been changed. Instead | ||
the only change that will have been included is to have updated that | ||
modules dependency on this project's stable APIs. | ||
* When an experimental module in contrib becomes stable a new stable | ||
module version will be released and will include this now stable | ||
module. The new stable module version will be an increment of the minor | ||
version number and will be applied to all existing stable contrib | ||
modules, this project's modules, and the newly stable module being | ||
released. | ||
* Contrib modules will be kept up to date with this project's releases. | ||
* Due to the dependency contrib modules will implicitly have on this | ||
project's modules the release of stable contrib modules to match the | ||
released version number will be staggered after this project's release. | ||
There is no explicit time guarantee for how long after this projects | ||
release the contrib release will be. Effort should be made to keep them | ||
as close in time as possible. | ||
* No additional stable release in this project can be made until the | ||
contrib repository has a matching stable release. | ||
* No release can be made in the contrib repository after this project's | ||
stable release except for a stable release of the contrib repository. | ||
* GitHub releases will be made for all releases. | ||
* Go modules will be made available at Go package mirrors. | ||
|
||
## Example Versioning Lifecycle | ||
|
||
To better understand the implementation of the above policy the following | ||
example is provided. This project is simplified to include only the following | ||
modules and their versions: | ||
|
||
* `otel`: `v0.14.0` | ||
* `otel/trace`: `v0.14.0` | ||
* `otel/metric`: `v0.14.0` | ||
* `otel/baggage`: `v0.14.0` | ||
* `otel/sdk/trace`: `v0.14.0` | ||
* `otel/sdk/metric`: `v0.14.0` | ||
|
||
These modules have been developed to a point where the `otel/trace`, | ||
`otel/baggage`, and `otel/sdk/trace` modules have reached a point that they | ||
should be considered for a stable release. The `otel/metric` and | ||
`otel/sdk/metric` are still under active development and the `otel` module | ||
depends on both `otel/trace` and `otel/metric`. | ||
|
||
The `otel` package is refactored to remove its dependencies on `otel/metric` so | ||
it can be released as stable as well. With that done the following release | ||
candidates are made: | ||
|
||
* `otel`: `v1.0.0-rc.1` | ||
* `otel/trace`: `v1.0.0-rc.1` | ||
* `otel/baggage`: `v1.0.0-rc.1` | ||
* `otel/sdk/trace`: `v1.0.0-rc.1` | ||
|
||
The `otel/metric` and `otel/sdk/metric` modules remain at `v0.14.0`. | ||
|
||
A few minor issues are discovered in the `otel/trace` package. These issues are | ||
resolved with some minor, but backwards incompatible, changes and are released | ||
as a second release candidate: | ||
|
||
* `otel`: `v1.0.0-rc.2` | ||
* `otel/trace`: `v1.0.0-rc.2` | ||
* `otel/baggage`: `v1.0.0-rc.2` | ||
* `otel/sdk/trace`: `v1.0.0-rc.2` | ||
|
||
Notice that all module version numbers are incremented to adhere to our | ||
versioning policy. | ||
|
||
After these release candidates have been evaluated to satisfaction, they are | ||
released as version `v1.0.0`. | ||
|
||
* `otel`: `v1.0.0` | ||
* `otel/trace`: `v1.0.0` | ||
* `otel/baggage`: `v1.0.0` | ||
* `otel/sdk/trace`: `v1.0.0` | ||
|
||
Since both the `go` utility and the Go module system support [the semantic | ||
versioning definition of | ||
precedence](https://semver.org/spec/v2.0.0.html#spec-item-11), this release | ||
will correctly be interpreted as the successor to the previous release | ||
candidates. | ||
|
||
Active development of this project continues. The `otel/metric` module now has | ||
backwards incompatible changes to its API that need to be released and the | ||
`otel/baggage` module has a minor bug fix that needs to be released. The | ||
following release is made: | ||
|
||
* `otel`: `v1.0.1` | ||
* `otel/trace`: `v1.0.1` | ||
* `otel/metric`: `v0.15.0` | ||
* `otel/baggage`: `v1.0.1` | ||
* `otel/sdk/trace`: `v1.0.1` | ||
* `otel/sdk/metric`: `v0.15.0` | ||
|
||
Notice that, again, all stable module versions are incremented in unison and | ||
the `otel/sdk/metric` package, which depends on the `otel/metric` package, also | ||
bumped its version. This bump of the `otel/sdk/metric` package makes sense | ||
given their coupling, though it is not explicitly required by our versioning | ||
policy. | ||
|
||
As we progress, the `otel/metric` and `otel/sdk/metric` packages have reached a | ||
point where they should be evaluated for stability. The `otel` module is | ||
reintegrated with the `otel/metric` package and the following release is made: | ||
|
||
* `otel`: `v1.1.0-rc.1` | ||
* `otel/trace`: `v1.1.0-rc.1` | ||
* `otel/metric`: `v1.1.0-rc.1` | ||
* `otel/baggage`: `v1.1.0-rc.1` | ||
* `otel/sdk/trace`: `v1.1.0-rc.1` | ||
* `otel/sdk/metric`: `v1.1.0-rc.1` | ||
|
||
All the modules are evaluated and determined to a viable stable release. They | ||
are then released as version `v1.1.0` (the minor version is incremented to | ||
indicate the addition of new signal). | ||
|
||
* `otel`: `v1.1.0` | ||
* `otel/trace`: `v1.1.0` | ||
* `otel/metric`: `v1.1.0` | ||
* `otel/baggage`: `v1.1.0` | ||
* `otel/sdk/trace`: `v1.1.0` | ||
* `otel/sdk/metric`: `v1.1.0` |
