15261526This library follows [ Semantic Versioning] ( http://semver.org/ ) , but with some
15271527additional qualifications:
15281528
1529+ 1 . Components marked with ` @BetaApi ` are considered to be "0.x" features inside
1530+ a "1.x" library. This means they can change between minor and patch releases
1531+ in incompatible ways. These features should not be used by any library "B"
1532+ that itself has consumers, unless the components of library B that use
1533+ ` @BetaApi ` features are also marked with ` @BetaApi ` . Features marked as
1534+ ` @BetaApi ` are on a path to eventually become "1.x" features with the marker
1535+ removed.
1536+
1537+ 1 . Components marked with ` @InternalApi ` are technically public, but are only
1538+ public for technical reasons, because of the limitations of Java's access
1539+ modifiers. For the purposes of semver, they should be considered private.
1540+
1541+ 1 . Components marked with ` @InternalExtensionOnly ` are stable for usage, but
1542+ not for extension. Thus, methods will not be removed from interfaces marked
1543+ with this annotation, but methods can be added, thus breaking any
1544+ code implementing the interface. See the javadocs for more details on other
1545+ consequences of this annotation.
1546+
152915471 . Components marked with ` @ObsoleteApi ` are stable for usage in the current major version,
15301548 but will be marked with ` @Deprecated ` in a future major version.
1549+ ** NOTE** : We reserve the right to mark anything as ` @Deprecated ` and introduce breaking
1550+ changes in a minor version for anythign that we deem to be *** critical bugs and
1551+ vulnerabilities*** .
