+# Versioning and Compatibility
+
+## Client versioning
+
+The C client uses Semantic Versioning. We increment the major version number whenever we regenerate the client for a new Kubernetes release version (see table below). Whenever we do this there are new APIs added and possibly breaking changes in the generated Kubernetes API Stubs. Whenever you upgrade a major version, be prepared for potential breaking changes.
+
+## Compatibility
+
+|  client version  |  1.17     |  1.18    |  1.19    |  1.20    |  1.21    |  1.22    |
+|------------------|-----------|----------|----------|----------|----------|----------|
+|  0.1.0           |  ✓        |  -       |  -       |  x       |  x       |  x       |
+|  HEAD            |  +        |  +       |  +       |  +       |  +       |  ✓       |

+
+Key: 
+
+* `✓` Exactly the same features / API objects in both java-client and the Kubernetes
+  version.
+* `+` c-client has features or api objects that may not be present in the
+  Kubernetes cluster, but everything they have in common will work.
+* `-` The Kubernetes cluster has features the c-client library can't use
+  (additional API objects, etc).
+* `x` The Kubernetes cluster has no guarantees to support the API client of
+  this version, as it only promises _n_-2 version support. It is not tested,
+  and operations using API versions that have been deprecated and removed in
+  later server versions won't function correctly.
