#  📕 Package Versioning

As of now, LangChain has an ad hoc release process: releases are cut with high
frequency by a maintainer and published to [ PyPI ](https://pypi.org/) . The
different packages are versioned slightly differently.

##  ` langchain-core ` ​

` langchain-core ` is currently on version ` 0.1.x ` .

As ` langchain-core ` contains the base abstractions and runtime for the whole
LangChain ecosystem, we will communicate any breaking changes with advance
notice and version bumps. The exception for this is anything marked with the `
beta ` decorator (you can see this in the API reference and will see warnings
when using such functionality). The reason for beta features is that given the
rate of change of the field, being able to move quickly is still a priority.

Minor version increases will occur for:

  * Breaking changes for any public interfaces marked as ` beta ` . 

Patch version increases will occur for:

  * Bug fixes 
  * New features 
  * Any changes to private interfaces 
  * Any changes to ` beta ` features 

##  ` langchain ` ​

` langchain ` is currently on version ` 0.1.x `

Minor version increases will occur for:

  * Breaking changes for any public interfaces NOT marked as ` beta ` . 

Patch version increases will occur for:

  * Bug fixes 
  * New features 
  * Any changes to private interfaces 
  * Any changes to ` beta ` features 

We are working on the ` langchain ` v0.2 release, which will have some
breaking changes to legacy Chains and Agents. Additionally, we will remove `
langchain-community ` as a dependency and stop re-exporting integrations that
have been moved to ` langchain-community ` .

##  ` langchain-community ` ​

` langchain-community ` is currently on version ` 0.0.x `

All changes will be accompanied by a patch version increase.

##  ` langchain-experimental ` ​

` langchain-experimental ` is currently on version ` 0.0.x `

All changes will be accompanied by a patch version increase.

##  Partner Packages  ​

Partner packages are versioned independently.
