Versioning

Lighthouse follows Semantic Versioning.

Only the current major version receives new features and bugfixes.

Updating between minor versions does not require changes to PHP code or the GraphQL schema. It also causes no breaking behavioral changes for consumers of the GraphQL API. However, only code elements marked with @api remain compatible. All other code in Lighthouse is internal and subject to change.

Changelog

All notable changes to this project are documented in CHANGELOG.md.
