| This directory contains the GRPC API definitions for containerd. |
| |
| All defined services and messages have been aggregated into `*.pb.txt` |
| descriptors files in this directory. Definitions present here are considered |
| frozen after the release. |
| |
| At release time, the current `next.pb.txt` file will be moved into place to |
| freeze the API changes for the minor version. For example, when 1.0.0 is |
| released, `next.pb.txt` should be moved to `1.0.txt`. Notice that we leave off |
| the patch number, since the API will be completely locked down for a given |
| patch series. |
| |
| We may find that by default, protobuf descriptors are too noisy to lock down |
| API changes. In that case, we may filter out certain fields in the descriptors, |
| possibly regenerating for old versions. |
| |
| This process is similar to the [process used to ensure backwards compatibility |
| in Go](https://github.com/golang/go/tree/master/api). |
