### Compatibility
OpenTelemetry-Go attempts to track the current supported versions of the
[Go language](https://golang.org/doc/devel/release#policy). The release
schedule after a new minor version of go is as follows:
OpenTelemetry-Go ensures compatibility with the current supported versions of
the [Go language](https://golang.org/doc/devel/release#policy):
- The first release or one month, which ever is sooner, will add build steps for the new go version.
- The first release after three months will remove support for the oldest go version.
> Each major Go release is supported until there are two newer major releases.
> For example, Go 1.5 was supported until the Go 1.7 release, and Go 1.6 was supported until the Go 1.8 release.
This project is tested on the following systems.
For versions of Go that are no longer supported upstream, opentelemetry-go will
stop ensuring compatibility with these versions in the following manner:
- A minor release of opentelemetry-go will be made to add support for the new
supported release of Go.
- The following minor release of opentelemetry-go will remove compatibility
testing for the oldest (now archived upstream) version of Go. This, and
future, releases of opentelemetry-go may include features only supported by
the currently supported versions of Go.
Currently, this project supports the following environments.
| OS | Go Version | Architecture |
