  note: >-
    A new major release of .NET ships every November. Even-numbered releases are Long Term Support
    (LTS) and get three years of free support and patches; odd-numbered releases are Standard Term
    Support (STS) and get two years. The NuGet Server API versions in the URL path (V2 legacy OData at
    /api/v2, V3 at /v3) and is discovered from the service index at
    https://api.nuget.org/v3/index.json rather than pinned by the client.

deprecation:
  policy_url: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/dotnet/core/compatibility/
  sunset_header: false
  note: >-
    .NET publishes a per-release breaking-change catalogue at learn.microsoft.com/dotnet/core/compatibility,
    organized by version and area, plus obsoletion diagnostics (SYSLIBxxxx) that surface deprecations at
    compile time rather than at runtime. The NuGet Server API does not emit RFC 8594 Sunset or
    Deprecation headers; API-level deprecation is announced on the .NET blog and signalled in-band by an
    OData error code (see api_deprecations below).
api_deprecations:
  - surface: NuGet V2 OData custom queries

    migration: >-
      Move to the V3 API discovered from https://api.nuget.org/v3/index.json. The scoped V2 queries the
      official client (nuget.exe) makes remain supported; only arbitrary third-party OData query shapes
      were blocked.

sla:
  url: null
  uptime_target: null
  note: >-
    No published uptime SLA for the public nuget.org API. .NET itself is a free, open-source platform
    with no service-level agreement; commercial support runs through Microsoft Unified/Premier support
    contracts rather than a per-API SLA.

  No operation in openapi/ carries `deprecated: true`. The deprecated surface (V2 OData) is not modelled
  in these specs, which describe V3 only.
