Cloud Client Libraries for Go are compatible with the two most-recent major Go
releases, the same policy
the Go programming language follows. This means that Cloud Client Libraries for Go
are compatible with all supported Go releases.
For example, if the current Go release is Go 1.24, the Cloud Client Libraries for Go
are compatible with Go 1.23 and Go 1.24. For more information on
Cloud Client Libraries, see Client libraries explained.
For new development
When starting a new project, we recommend choosing the current release of Go if
possible. This ensures that your runtime is within the supported Go releases and
receives critical security patches.
Keeping production systems current
Keeping your production systems on supported Go runtimes is the best way to
ensure that you receive critical security and bug fixes. Our Go
Cloud Client Libraries increment a minor version when dropping compatibility with
an earlier Go runtime version. For more information about the use of major and
minor versions, see
Semantic Versioning.
