The Pulsar project follows a variant of Semantic Versioning (semver), replacing major.minor.patch with LTS.feature.patch. With this numbering system:

  • a “major” version bump signals a new long-term support (LTS) release,
  • a “minor” version bump signals a new feature release, and
  • a “patch” version bump signals patches for bugs and security vulnerabilities.

Feature releases are released every 3 months. They are supported with bug and security fixes for 6 months.

LTS releases are released every 18 months. They are supported with bug and security fixes for 24 months, and with only security fixes for an additional 12 months.

Upgrades should be done linearly as explained in Apache Pulsar documentation.

More information is available on the Apache Pulsar website.

You should be running one of the supported release numbers listed above in the rightmost column.
