# Releasing, Versioning and Deprecation
This collection follows Semantic Versioning. More details on versioning can be found in the Ansible docs.
We plan to regularly release new minor or bugfix versions once new features or bugfixes have been implemented.
Releasing the current major version happens from the main branch. We will create a stable-1 branch for 1.x.y versions once we start working on a 2.0.0 release, to allow backporting bugfixes and features from the 2.0.0 branch (main) to stable-1. A stable-2 branch will be created once we work on a 3.0.0 release, and so on.
We currently are not planning any deprecations or new major releases like 2.0.0 containing backwards incompatible changes. If backwards incompatible changes are needed, we plan to deprecate the old behavior as early as possible. We also plan to backport at least bugfixes for the old major version for some time after releasing a new major version. We will not block community members from backporting other bugfixes and features from the latest stable version to older release branches, under the condition that these backports are of reasonable quality.
