Version lifecycle and compatibility

Each GoodData.UI major version goes through lifecycle phases, and the phase decides which fixes and support the version gets. This page lists the phases and the dates for every major, separately for GoodData Cloud and GoodData.CN, and for GoodData Legacy.

For the Node.js, React, TypeScript, and bundler versions that GoodData.UI needs, see Platform compatibility.

Use the latest version of GoodData.UI to get the newest features and security fixes.

Lifecycle phases

Each version of GoodData.UI goes through the following phases:

1. General Availability (GA)

   • When it starts: When a major version is publicly released. To get notified about a new version, watch the GoodData.UI releases on GitHub.
   • What it means: A version in GA is in active development and receives all new features and bug fixes, which are applied on top of the last minor version.

2. End-of-Development (EOD)

   • When it starts: When a newer major version is publicly released.
   • What it means: A version in EOD receives only security fixes (unless they can be resolved by a SemVer-compatible upgrade) and fixes for critical issues. Only production dependencies receive the security fixes. These fixes are applied on top of the last minor version. No new features are added.

3. End-of-Support (EOS)

   • When it starts: The date is defined by GoodData.
   • What it means: A version in EOS receives neither new features nor bug fixes, and no technical support is provided. The version is still available on npm, but don’t use it.

GoodData Cloud and GoodData.CN

GoodData.UI is versioned and usually released together with GoodData Cloud. If you run GoodData.CN, keep both GoodData.UI and GoodData.CN on their newest versions.

GoodData Legacy

GoodData Legacy (the deprecated GoodData Platform) is supported only by GoodData.UI version 9. Stay on version 9 and don’t upgrade to version 10 or higher. From version 10 onwards, GoodData.UI supports only GoodData Cloud and GoodData.CN.
