Release Policy
DBFlow packages follow semantic versioning from 1.0.0 onward. This page explains what to expect from tagged releases.
Versioning
| Stage | Tag pattern | Expectations |
|---|---|---|
| Stable | 1.x (current 1.1) |
Semver for public API; migration guides for majors and notable minors |
| Prerelease | 1.0.0-rc.*, 0.x (historical) |
Used before 1.0; see GitHub release notes |
All published DBFlow packages reached 1.0 stable on 2026-07-07 (first stable tag 1.0.0). The current coordinated line is 1.1.0 (2026-07-23 / 2026-07-24). Use ^1.1 constraints in production.
| Context | Write this | Example |
|---|---|---|
| Product / docs copy | 1.1 / 1.x stable | "DBFlow Pro is on 1.1" |
composer require |
^1.1 |
dbflowlabs/filament-pro:^1.1 |
Git tag, OSS path, package_releases.version |
1.1.0 |
releases/.../1.1.0/... |
Breaking changes
1.x stable releases follow semver: breaking public API changes require a major version bump. Minor releases such as 1.1 are additive.
0.x prerelease history may contain breaking changes without a major bump. If you still depend on 0.1.0-alpha.* tags, upgrade via UPGRADE-1.0 before moving to ^1.0, then Upgrade to 1.1.
Mitigation:
- Prefer
composer require dbflowlabs/core:^1.1(and matching Filament / Pro constraints) - Read GitHub release notes before upgrading
- Run your workflow integration tests after every package update
Upgrade notes
Each tagged release on GitHub should include release notes covering:
- Added, changed, and removed APIs
- Migration or config changes
- Known issues
Start with Upgrade to 1.1 when moving from 1.0.x. If a release note is missing for a tag you depend on, open a GitHub issue before upgrading.
Pro compatibility
dbflowlabs/filament-pro depends on Core and Filament Standard at ^1.1.
- Pro builds target the same PHP, Laravel, and Filament baseline documented in Package Status
- Upgrade Core and Filament Standard before upgrading Pro
- Pro-generated definitions must remain compatible with the Core runtime JSON schema (
1.0or additive1.1)
