### Upgrading to a New Major Version

- We provide a step-by-step [upgrade guide](./upgrade-guide.mdx) for each major version.
- Following the upgrade steps should take less than a day of development effort regardless of the project size.

### Fixes and Maintenance

- We provide new features and fixes only for the **latest major release** of the SAP Cloud SDK for AI.

## Minor Release Policy

We release a new **minor version** every 2 weeks, assuming new functionality or fixes are available.

### Upgrading to a New Minor Version
