Deprecation Table

The following features are deprecated but have not yet been removed.

v1beta1 deprecation

The v1beta1 versions of Task, TaskRun, Pipeline, and PipelineRun are deprecated in favor of the v1 versions of these APIs, as of release v0.50.0. Following the beta CRD compatibility policy, the earliest release the v1beta1 versions of these CRDs may be removed is 1 year later, or v0.62.0 (LTS). The v1beta1 client libraries will be retained until v0.62.0 has reached its end of life, 1 year later. Therefore, the earliest release the client libraries may be removed is v0.74.0, 12 months after v0.62.0.
