================
Project policies
================
This page collects basic policies on horizon development.
Back-end service support
------------------------
* ``N`` release of horizon supports ``N`` and ``N-1`` releases of
back-end OpenStack services (like nova, cinder, neutron and so on).
This allows operators to upgrade horizon separately from other OpenStack
services.
* Horizon should check features in back-end services through APIs as much as
possible by using micro-versioning for nova, cinder and so on and API
extensions for neutron (and others if any).
* Related to the previous item, features available in ``N-3`` releases
(which means the recent four releases including the development version)
are assumed without checking the availability of features
to simplify the implementation.
* Removals and deprecations of back-end feature supports basically follows
`the standard deprecation policy
<https://governance.openstack.org/tc/reference/tags/assert_follows-standard-deprecation.html>`__
defined by the technical committee, but there are some notes.
Deprecations in back-end services are applied to corresponding horizon
features automatically and it is allowed to drop some feature from horizon
without an explicit deprecation.
Django support
--------------
* Horizon usually syncs with
`Django's Roadmap <https://www.djangoproject.com/weblog/2015/jun/25/roadmap/>`__
and supports LTS (long term support) versions of Django
as of the feature freeze of each OpenStack release.
Supports for other maintained Django versions are optional
and best-effort.
