Compatibility and API stability

Sarama provides a "2 releases + 2 months" compatibility guarantee: we support the two latest stable releases of Kafka and Go, and we provide a two month grace period for older releases. However, older releases of Kafka are still likely to work.

Sarama follows semantic versioning and provides API stability via the standard Go module version numbering scheme.

A changelog is available here.
