Versioning and Support Policy

Parse SDK for Dart/Flutter versioning, framework compatibility, dependency management, and release strategy.

Framework Version Support

The support window is 6 months after the next significant version (major/minor, not patch).

Example:

  • Dart 3.3.0 released: February 15, 2024
  • Dart 3.2.x end-of-support: August 15, 2024

Important

There are no deprecation notices. Versions are dropped immediately when support expires.

See the README files in /packages/dart/ and /packages/flutter/ for current compatibility tables.

Dependency Management

Constraints

Use caret constraints (^) following Dart conventions:

dependencies:
  dio: ^5.7.0          # Allows >=5.7.0 <6.0.0
  http: ^1.2.0         # Allows >=1.2.0 <2.0.0

Updates

Dependabot checks daily and creates PRs immediately when updates available and PRs are merged as soon as the CI passes.

Version Bumps

Dependency Change Parse SDK Bump

Handling Version Conflicts

See MIGRATION_GUIDES.md for detailed solutions.

Quick fixes:

  1. Update Parse SDK to latest version
  2. Update all dependencies: flutter pub upgrade
  3. Check GitHub issues for known conflicts

Testing

CI Matrix:

  • Latest: All platforms (Ubuntu, macOS, Windows)
  • 1-2 previous: Ubuntu only
  • Beta: Ubuntu only

Automated Management

  • Dependabot: Regular checks for Dart/Flutter dependencies.

  • Security Audit: Monthly dart pub audit, creates issues for vulnerabilities.
