New Release Candidates for Twilio Helper Libraries

We are excited to announce that we will be making some changes to the release stages of our Twilio Helper Libraries.

We are adding new Release Candidates (RC), which are a pre-release of a new major version of our helper libraries. RCs will follow the version pattern “X.0.0-rc.Y” where “X” is the current major version + 1 and “Y” is the Yth release of the RC. For example, the current version of the Twilio Java Helper Library is 8.30.0 and the first release of an RC for the next major version will be 9.0.0-rc.1.

Following the Release Candidate (RC), we will release a General Availability (GA) helper library version. This will be a new major version of a helper library, which will remove the pre-release identifier (e.g., 9.0.0). There are to be no expected breaking changes as part of the GA work, though there may be exceptions.
