## Deprecation policy
REST framework releases follow a formal deprecation policy, which is in line with [Django's deprecation policy][django-deprecation-policy].
The timeline for deprecation of a feature present in version 1.0 would work as follows:
* Version 1.1 would remain **fully backwards compatible** with 1.0, but would raise `PendingDeprecationWarning` warnings if you use the feature that are due to be deprecated. These warnings are **silent by default**, but can be explicitly enabled when you're ready to start migrating any required changes. For example if you start running your tests using `python -Wd manage.py test`, you'll be warned of any API changes you need to make.
* Version 1.2 would escalate these warnings to `DeprecationWarning`, which is loud by default.
* Version 1.3 would remove the deprecated bits of API entirely.
Note that in line with Django's policy, any parts of the framework not mentioned in the documentation should generally be considered private API, and may be subject to change.
