Upgrade Guidance
Moving from Experimental to Beta
Features at experimental level may have breaking changes between minor versions. Pin your Moltbot version if you depend on experimental features.
Moving from Beta to Stable
Beta features are generally safe for production but may require migration steps. Check the changelog when upgrading.
Core Features
Core features maintain backward compatibility within major versions. Migration guides are provided for any breaking changes.
Requesting Feature Promotion
If you're using a Beta or Experimental feature in production and would like it prioritized for stabilization, please:
- Open a GitHub issue describing your use case
- Include any edge cases or bugs you've encountered
- Suggest any API improvements that would make it more stable
Community feedback directly influences feature prioritization.
