# Versioning and Releases

> Pulumi provider versioning model and release guidance.

Source: https://docs.atensecurity.com/docs/pulumi-provider/versioning-and-releases

The Thoth Pulumi provider follows semantic versioning.

## Choose a release

The trial settings guide validates the `0.1.16` provider line. Check the
provider registry and release notes for available releases before upgrading;
SDK and provider versions are independent.

## Upgrade process

1. Review provider release notes in GitHub Releases and Pulumi Registry.
2. Upgrade SDK/package dependency in your Pulumi program.
3. Run `pulumi preview` in non-production environments.
4. Promote to production after approval.

## Release publication

Provider binaries and schema are published from `atensecurity/pulumi-thoth`
GitHub releases using signed tags and release artifacts.
