MAJOR is incremented for breaking changes to stable features.
MINOR is incremented for new features and for breaking changes to unstable features.
PATCH is incremented for backward-compatible bug fixes, security fixes, and dependency updates.
Databricks may ship a breaking change to a stable feature without a major version bump in exceptional circumstances where waiting for the next major version would itself cause greater harm: an active security incident, a legal or compliance requirement, or a regression introduced in the current major version. Any such exceptional change is announced in the release notes.
Security patches
Security patches ship on the current release, and on specific older versions listed in SECURITY.md. The CLI does not currently offer a broader long-term support commitment.
