## Deprecation policy
The balena CLI uses [semver versioning](https://semver.org/), with the concepts
of major, minor and patch version releases.
The latest release of the previous major version of the balena CLI will remain
compatible with the balenaCloud backend services for one year from the date when
the next major version is released. For example, balena CLI v10.17.5, as the
latest v10 release, would remain compatible with the balenaCloud backend for one
year from the date when v11.0.0 is released.
At the end of this period, the older major version is considered deprecated and
some of the functionality that depends on balenaCloud services may stop working
at any time.
Users are encouraged to regularly update the balena CLI to the latest version.
