This page describes the support policy for the AWS Encryption SDK CLI. We regularly provide the AWS Encryption SDK CLI with updates that may contain support for new or updated APIs, new features, enhancements, bug fixes, security patches, or documentation updates. Updates may also address changes with dependencies, language runtimes, and operating systems.
We recommend users to stay up-to-date with Encryption SDK CLI releases to keep up with the latest features, security updates, and underlying dependencies. Continued use of an unsupported SDK version is not recommended and is done at the user’s discretion.
The AWS Encryption SDK follows the same major version lifecycle as the AWS SDK. For details on this lifecycle, see AWS SDKs and Tools Maintenance Policy.
This table describes the current support status of each major version of the AWS Encryption SDK CLI. It also shows the next status each major version will transition to, and the date at which that transition will happen.
