@Marvin till when will prefect 2 be supported?
m
The Prefect 2.x documentation doesn't specify an exact end date for support. However, features that are deprecated in Prefect are retained for at least 3 minor version increases or 6 months, whichever is longer. This implies a general approach to maintaining backward compatibility and providing ample notice before removing features. For more detailed information, you can refer to the Prefect versioning documentation.

@Marvin what will be the latest date that i need to migrate to prefect 3?
m
The documentation doesn't specify an exact deadline for migrating from Prefect 2 to 3. However, it suggests that the transition to Prefect 3.0 should be relatively seamless for most users, with compatibility maintained for most Prefect 2.0 workflows. You can find more details and guidance on the upgrade process in the Prefect 3.0 upgrade documentation. If you are considering the migration, it would be prudent to start planning and testing the transition sooner rather than later to ensure a smooth upgrade.

hi @Adam we're planning to implement significant bugfixes in 2.x for the foreseeable future and it will stay available on pypi - i.e. there's no hard deadline to switch off
