providerId: goharbor
description: >-
  Harbor publishes a written versioning and release policy (RELEASES.md), a three-release
  support matrix, an upgrade compatibility rule, and a public status page for the services
  the project itself operates. What it does not publish is an API deprecation policy: the
  contract marks individual operations deprecated but states no sunset date and emits no
  Deprecation/Sunset headers.
versioning:
  scheme: semver
  pattern: <major>.<minor>.<patch>
  prereleases: '-rc1, -rc2, … built from the release branch'
  api_version: v2.0
  api_version_in: uri-path (/api/v2.0)
  current_release: v2.15.2
  current_release_date: '2026-07-02'
  latest_prerelease: v2.15.3-rc1
  latest_prerelease_date: '2026-09-11'
  docs: https://github.com/goharbor/harbor/blob/main/RELEASES.md
cadence:
  minor: approximately every 3 months
  patch: monthly for the most recent minor release; on demand for the two prior minors, driven by severity
  branch_pattern: release-<major>.<minor>.0
support:
  policy: The project maintains release branches for the three most recent minor releases; each minor release is maintained for approximately 9 months.
  supported_versions_as_published:
  - Harbor v2.13.x
  - Harbor v2.12.x
  - Harbor v2.11.x
  note: >-
    The support matrix in RELEASES.md still names 2.11–2.13 while the current release is
    2.15.2 — the table has not been updated to the rolling window the same document
    describes. Recorded as published, with the discrepancy noted.
  upgrade_policy: >-
    Patch releases are always compatible within their minor. Only the two previous minor
    releases may upgrade directly into the current minor (2.1.0 and 2.2.0 → 2.3.0; 2.0.0 →
    2.3.0 is not supported and must step through 2.2.0).

deprecation:
  policy_published: true
  policy_style: in-contract
  policy_url: https://github.com/goharbor/harbor/blob/main/RELEASES.md
  sunset_header: false
  deprecation_header: false
  rfc8594: false
  note: >-
    Harbor marks operations `deprecated: true` in its own published contract and labels
    superseded operations in their summary text, but publishes no removal date, no
    Sunset/Deprecation response headers and no separate deprecation policy page. Removal is
    governed only by the semver + 9-month support window above.
  deprecated_operations:
  - operationId: LastTrigger
    path: GET /projects/{project_name_or_id}/webhook/lasttrigger
    replacement: null
  - operationId: ListWebhookJobs
    path: GET /projects/{project_name_or_id}/webhook/jobs
    replacement: ListExecutionsOfWebhookPolicy / ListTasksOfWebhookExecution

    replacement: getLatestScanAllMetrics
  - operationId: getLogs
    path: GET /projects/{project_name}/logs
    replacement: getLogExts (GET /projects/{project_name}/auditlog-exts)
    note: Marked "(deprecated)" in the operation summary rather than with the deprecated flag.

status_page:
  url: https://status.goharbor.io
  status: 200
  provider: hosted status page ("CNCF Harbor status")
  components:
  - registry.goharbor.io
  - demo.goharbor.io
  uptime_published: '99.994% (registry.goharbor.io, as displayed 2026-09-12)'
  subscriptions: [email, RSS, Atom, JSON, webhook, Slack]
  note: >-
    The status page covers the services the Harbor project itself runs — the community
    registry and the public demo. A self-hosted Harbor deployment's availability is the
    operator's, which is why this is the only availability surface the project can publish.
