Bazel follows Semantic Versioning.

  • A major release contains features that are not backward compatible with the previous release. Each major Bazel version is an LTS release.
  • A minor release contains backward-compatible bug fixes and features back-ported from the main branch.
  • A patch release contains critical bug fixes.

More information is available on the Bazel website.
