Docker Engine has two types of update channels, **stable** and **test**:
|
||||
|
||||
* The **Stable** channel gives you latest releases for general availability.
|
||||
* The **Test** channel gives pre-releases that are ready for testing before
|
||||
general availability (GA).
|
||||
* The **Stable** channel gives you the latest versions released for general availability.
|
||||
* The **Test** channel gives you pre-release versions that are ready for testing before
|
||||
general availability.
|
||||
|
||||
### Stable
|
||||
|
||||
Year-month releases are made from a release branch diverged from the master
|
||||
branch. The branch is created with format `<year>.<month>`, for example
|
||||
`20.10`. The year-month name indicates the earliest possible calendar
|
||||
month to expect the release to be generally available. All further patch
|
||||
releases are performed from that branch. For example, once `v20.10.0` is
|
||||
released, all subsequent patch releases are built from the `20.10` branch.
|
||||
|
||||
### Test
|
||||
|
||||
In preparation for a new year-month release, a branch is created from
|
||||
the master branch with format `YY.mm` when the milestones desired by
|
||||
Docker for the release have achieved feature-complete. Pre-releases
|
||||
such as betas and release candidates are conducted from their respective release
|
||||
branches. Patch releases and the corresponding pre-releases are performed
|
||||
from within the corresponding release branch.
|
||||
Use the test channel with caution. Pre-release versions include experimental and
|
||||
early-access features that are subject to breaking changes.
|
||||
|
||||
## Support
|
||||
|
||||
Docker Engine releases of a year-month branch are supported with patches as
|
||||
needed for one month after the next year-month general availability release.
|
||||
Docker Engine is an open source project, supported by the Moby project maintainers
|
||||
and community members. Docker doesn't provide support for Docker Engine.
|
||||
Docker provides support for Docker products, including Docker Desktop, which uses
|
||||
Docker Engine as one of its components.
|
||||
|
||||
This means bug reports and backports to release branches are assessed
|
||||
until the end-of-life date.
|
||||
|
||||
After the year-month branch has reached end-of-life, the branch may be
|
||||
deleted from the repository.
|
||||
|
||||
### Backporting
|
||||
|
||||
Backports to the Docker products are prioritized by the Docker company. A
|
||||
Docker employee or repository maintainer will endeavour to ensure sensible
|
||||
bugfixes make it into _active_ releases.
|
||||
|
||||
If there are important fixes that ought to be considered for backport to
|
||||
active release branches, be sure to highlight this in the PR description
|
||||
or by adding a comment to the PR.
|
||||

|
||||

|
||||
|
||||
### Upgrade path
|
||||
|
||||
Patch releases are always backward compatible with its year-month version.
|
||||
Patch releases are always backward compatible with its major and minor version.
