2022-05-01 05:55:21 +02:00
|

|

|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Alpha releases are "best effort", and are trial releases, to help get early feedback and improvements
|
|
|
|
|
from the community, while still allowing us to make large, breaking changes that may be needed.

## API stability
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
There are a number of "surfaces" that can be considered as "API" in Kanidm.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
* JSON HTTP end points of kanidmd
|
2022-05-01 05:55:21 +02:00
|
|
|
* unix domain socket API of `kanidm_unixd` resolver
|
|
|
|
|
* LDAP interface of kanidm
|
2021-03-25 01:34:29 +01:00
|
|
|
* CLI interface of kanidm admin command
|
2022-05-01 05:55:21 +02:00
|
|
|
* Many other interaction surfaces
|
2021-03-25 01:34:29 +01:00
|
|
|
|
2022-05-01 05:55:21 +02:00
|
|
|
During the Alpha, there is no guarantee that *any* of these APIs named here or not named will remain stable.
|
|
|
|
|
Only elements from "the same release" are guaranteed to work with each other.
|
2021-03-25 01:34:29 +01:00
|
|
|
|
2022-05-01 05:55:21 +02:00
|
|
|
Once an official release is made, only the JSON API and LDAP interface will be declared stable.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The unix domain socket API is internal and will never be "stable".
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The CLI is *not* an API and can change with the interest of human interaction during any release.
