# Versioning Policy | ||
|
||
Ibis follows a [Semantic Versioning](https://semver.org/) scheme | ||
(`MAJOR.MINOR.PATCH`, like `6.1.0`). | ||
|
||
- An increase in the `MAJOR` version number will happen when a release contains | ||
breaking changes in the public API. This includes anything documented in the | ||
[reference documentation](../reference), excluding any | ||
features explicitly marked as "experimental". Features not part of the public | ||
API (e.g. anything in `ibis.expr.operations` may make breaking changes at any | ||
time). | ||
|
||
- An increase in the `MINOR` or `PATCH` version number indicate changes to | ||
public APIs that should remain compatible with previous Ibis versions with | ||
the same `MAJOR` version number. | ||
|
||
## Supported Python Versions | ||
|
||
Ibis follows [NEP29](https://numpy.org/neps/nep-0029-deprecation_policy.html) | ||
with respect to supported Python versions. | ||
|
||
This has been in-place [since Ibis version 3.0.0](https://github.com/ibis-project/ibis/blob/5015677d78909473014a61725d371b4bf772cdff/docs/blog/Ibis-version-3.0.0-release.md?plain=1#L83). | ||
|
||
The [support | ||
table](https://numpy.org/neps/nep-0029-deprecation_policy.html#support-table) | ||
shows the schedule for dropping support for Python versions. | ||
|
||
The next major release of Ibis that occurs on or after the NEP29 drop date | ||
removes support for the specified Python version. |
