Releasing, Versioning and Deprecation
-------------------------------------

This collection follows [Semantic Versioning](https://semver.org/). More details on versioning can be found [in the Ansible docs](https://docs.ansible.com/ansible/latest/dev_guide/developing_collections.html#collection-versions).

We plan to regularly release new minor or bugfix versions once new features or bugfixes have been implemented.

Enterprise SONiC Ansible Modules deprecation cycle is aligned with [Ansible](https://docs.ansible.com/ansible/latest/dev_guide/module_lifecycle.html).

Source control branches on Github:
  - Released code versions are located on "release" branches with names of the form "M.x", where "M" specifies the "major" release version for releases residing on the branch.
  - Unreleased and pre-release code versions are located on sub-branches of the "main" branch. This is a development branch, and is not intended for use in production environments.
