At any point in time, we have a number of maintained branches, currently consisting of:
- The [`master`](https://github.com/Mbed-TLS/mbedtls/tree/master) branch:
- The [`main`](https://github.com/Mbed-TLS/mbedtls/tree/main) branch:
this always contains the latest release, including all publicly available
security fixes.
- The [`development`](https://github.com/Mbed-TLS/mbedtls/tree/development) branch:
this is where new features land,
as well as bug fixes and security fixes.
- One or more long-time support (LTS) branches:
these only get bug fixes and security fixes.
this is where the next major version of Mbed TLS (version 4.0) is being
prepared. It has API changes that make it incompatible with Mbed TLS 3.x,
as well as all the new features and bug fixes and security fixes.
- One or more long-time support (LTS) branches: these only get bug fixes and
security fixes. Currently, the supported LTS branches are:
- [`mbedtls-2.28`](https://github.com/Mbed-TLS/mbedtls/tree/mbedtls-2.28).
- [`mbedtls-3.6`](https://github.com/Mbed-TLS/mbedtls/tree/mbedtls-3.6).
We retain a number of historical branches, whose names are prefixed by `archive/`,
such as [`archive/mbedtls-2.7`](https://github.com/Mbed-TLS/mbedtls/tree/archive/mbedtls-2.7).
These branches will not receive any changes or updates.
We use [Semantic Versioning](https://semver.org/). In particular, we maintain
API compatibility in the `master` branch between major version changes. We
also maintain ABI compatibility within LTS branches; see the next section for
details.
API compatibility in the `main` branch across minor version changes (e.g.
the API of 3.(x+1) is backward compatible with 3.x). We only break API
compatibility on major version changes (e.g. from 3.x to 4.0). We also maintain
ABI compatibility within LTS branches; see the next section for details.
Every major version will become an LTS branch when the next major version is
released. We may occasionally create LTS branches from other releases at our
discretion.
When a new LTS branch is created, it usually remains supported for three years.
We will make regular LTS releases on an 18-month cycle, each of which will have
a 3 year support lifetime. On this basis, 3.6 LTS (released March 2024) will be
supported until March 2027. The next LTS release will be a 4.x release, which is
planned for September 2025.
## Backwards Compatibility for application code
@ -30,30 +38,33 @@ modification with any later release x.y'.z' with the same major version
number, and your code will still build, be secure, and work.
Note that this guarantee only applies if you either use the default
compile-time configuration (`mbedtls/config.h`) or the same modified
compile-time configuration (`mbedtls/mbedtls_config.h`) or the same modified
compile-time configuration. Changing compile-time configuration options can
result in an incompatible API or ABI, although features will generally not
affect unrelated features (for example, enabling or disabling a
cryptographic algorithm does not break code that does not use that
algorithm).
There are rare exceptions: code that was relying on something that became
insecure in the meantime (for example, crypto that was found to be weak) may
need to be changed. In case security comes in conflict with backwards
compatibility, we will put security first, but always attempt to provide a
compatibility option.
Note that new releases of Mbed TLS may extend the API. Here are some
examples of changes that are common in minor releases of Mbed TLS, and are
not considered API compatibility breaks:
For the LTS branches, additionally we try very hard to also maintain ABI
compatibility (same definition as API except with re-linking instead of
re-compiling) and to avoid any increase in code size or RAM usage, or in the
minimum version of tools needed to build the code. The only exception, as
before, is in case those goals would conflict with fixing a security issue, we
will put security first but provide a compatibility option. (So far we never
had to break ABI compatibility in an LTS branch, but we occasionally had to
increase code size for a security fix.)
* Adding or reordering fields in a structure or union.
* Removing a field from a structure, unless the field is documented as public.
* Adding items to an enum.
* Returning an error code that was not previously documented for a function
when a new error condition arises.
* Changing which error code is returned in a case where multiple error
conditions apply.
* Changing the behavior of a function from failing to succeeding, when the
change is a reasonable extension of the current behavior, i.e. the
addition of a new feature.

## Backward compatibility for the key store
@ -68,14 +79,37 @@ Mbed TLS 3.x can also read keys written by Mbed TLS 2.25.0 through 2.28.x
LTS, but future major version upgrades (for example from 2.28.x/3.x to 4.y)
may require the use of an upgrade tool.
Note that this guarantee does not currently fully extend to drivers, which
are an experimental feature. We intend to maintain compatibility with the
basic use of drivers from Mbed TLS 2.28.0 onwards, even if driver APIs
change. However, for more experimental parts of the driver interface, such
as the use of driver state, we do not yet guarantee backward compatibility.
